Liverpool winger Jermaine Pennant is disappointed not to have made it into Steve McClaren’s England squad for the crucial Euro 2008 qualifying double-header against Israel and Andorra.

Pennant said: "I'm very keen for an England call-up. It's frustrating when you play for a big club and you're doing well not to get a chance.

"I feel as though I have played well for Liverpool this season and have been involved in all of the games. It was always going to be hard to settle quickly into a big club but I am happy with the way things have gone for me. That's why it's frustrating not to have had a chance yet with England.

"Some players aren't playing week in and week out and yet they've been called into the squads. No disrespect to them at all, but I think I deserve a chance.

"All I can do is keep playing my football and hope for the call. There's still a lot more to come from me yet and I'll be a better player again next year."
