Beckham injury good news for Lennon

The news that David Beckham faces 4 weeks out with knee injury may bring a secret smile to the lips of our in-form wideman Aaron Lennon. The continuous Beckham PR campaign looked set to win him a recall to the squad for England's next fixtures but after his latest setback this will not be possible and may lead to the youthful Lennon getting a start for the three lions.



Lennon appears to have been somewhat harshly treated by England. He was injured for early matches in Steve McClaren's tenure and the public by and large have forgotten the impact he had in an England shirt during his cameo appearences in the summer. After ripping West Ham a new arsehole yesterday Lennon might still have found the media giant that is the former England captain might have kept him out on reputation more than form but hopefully now we will get the chance to see what Lennon is capable of on the international stage, bringing with him a rare commodity in the England side, searing pace.
