West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino hopeful of promotion to England's senior side Only Sergio Agüero, with 10, and Diego Costa, with nine, have managed more goals in the Premier League this term than Berahino's seven, comfortably more than Rooney (three), Welbeck (two) and Lambert (none). Sturridge then injured a thigh in training at St George's Park, angering Liverpool. It would be perceived as provocative at Anfield if Hodgson called up Sturridge. Hodgson, and his assistants Ray Lewington and Gary Neville, met on Wednesday to discuss their options with Hodgson making a final decision this morning before announcing the squad at 12.30pm. With Southampton's Jay Rodriguez still injured, it would seem an obvious opportunity to summon Berahino from the under-21s now that Gareth Southgate's squad have qualified for next summer's European Championship in the Czech Republic. England plan for Berahino, 21, to play in that tournament before his long-term introduction into the senior squad. Hodgson first came into contact with Berahino during his time as West Brom manager when the youngster was emerging from their academy. Southgate has an imminent double-header of friendlies against Portugal and France, which will be difficult games, and he may want to take as strong a squad as possible, maintaining the momentum and continuing to build the camaraderie. Harry Kane's good form for Tottenham and England Under-21s will see him under consideration but it would be strange if Kane were selected ahead of Berahino. Ben Foster, who will be named among the three goalkeepers by Hodgson, believes that his West Brom team-mate should be in the squad, saying "without a doubt, Saido should be in, he's the top English scorer in the league." Ross Barkley is expected to return after injury and Theo Walcott is also expected to be in.
