Defoe takes his chance

Last updated : 03 September 2006 By SpursMAD

Despite helping England on their way to a 5-0 demolition of Andorra, Jermain Defoe will no doubt be warming the bench by the time the second round of Euro qualifiers arrives next month.

The Tottenham striker may find himself patiently waiting for his 20th cap. Wayne Rooney will be back from suspension when Steve McClaren's side takes on Macedonia at home and Croatia away in October.

Before that England will be looking to make it six points from their opening two group games when they take on Macedonia in Skopje this Wednesday.
