England manager Fabio Capello has spoken out in praise of Aston Villa midfielder James Milner.

The versatile Yorkshireman was on the left wing of Capello's line-up against Brazil at the weekend and his manager feels that he acquitted himself well despite the 1-0 defeat, especially as he was lining up against Maicon.

"James Milner is improving," the Italian said, according to The Daily Mail.

 "Maicon is one of the best right-backs in the world. He is very fast. He is a good defender and when he goes forward he is really dangerous.

"But Milner played well. He is a good player too."

Milner's versatility could well see him seal a place on the plane to South Africa next summer.

The Villa man has featured at right-back and left-back as well in midfield for England in recent games.
