Bolton captain Kevin Davies believes Fabio Capello will almost certainly take Aston Villa striker Emile Heskey to the World Cup. Davies faces Heskey in the Premier League tomorrow, when Villa host Gary Megson’s side, and despite being a potential rival to Heskey’s ‘target man’ position in Capello’s squad, he suggests the former Wigan man is all but on the plane to South Africa.
Davies is quoted by the Mirror: “I think Fabio is a big fan of his,”
“He's been in there ahead of strikers who are playing better and scoring more goals but I think as a target man, Fabio fancies him and likes the way he plays.”
“I think he will be on the plane regardless, but like any player, you have to fight for your spot in your side and I'm sure he is trying to do that.”
