Milner pledges commitment to Capello

And the Aston Villa player admits his versatility may help him to nail down a spot in the World Cup squad this summer.

Leeds-born Milner was surprisingly named as a right-back - along with Wes Brown - when Capello revealed his party for the final game before the provisional squad for South Africa has to be chosen.

The former Newcastle player has predominantly played in central midfield, wide right and wide left for Villa.

But he has also been switched to right-back on occasions when Villa have brought on other attacking options in matches.

And Capello also used Milner as a left-back during the latter stages of the home World Cup qualifier with Belarus at Wembley earlier in the season.

Milner said: "When I've played at right-back for Villa, it's usually been when we are behind and chasing the game so it was more like a wing-back.

"My best position is definitely more attacking central midfield, which I am enjoying immensely at the moment, or right-wing and left-wing.

"That is more suited to my game but, if the manager asks me to play right-back, I'll do it to the best of my ability.

"I would never turn it down. You just want to get out there and play. If he asks me to play there, I'd do it as well as I can. I'll give it my all."
