Tillen ready for Italian challenge

The KC Stadium will play host to an entertaining game between England and Italy tonight.

Today not only marks the return of the Champions League for Arsenal and Liverpool it also sees England's Coca Cola League U21 Representatives play against a team of Italian Serie B equals at Hull City's Kingston Communications Stadium.

Part of the 22 man squad is Brentford left sided player Sam Tillen who is set to start in the defense alongside Forest's Wes Morgan, Hull City's Scott Wiseman and Simon Francis of Sheffield United.

The Brentford Manager Martin Allen said,

"We are very happy for Sam. He has been a solid player for us this season and I hope he can do very well."

Peter Taylor also echoed his thoughs commenting on his squad saying,

"All the players here have good ability, but whether they can handle the next stage we don't know yet. If they can perform then it is an excellent chance for me to invite them into the England U21's"

Understandable before the game Sam was too busy to comment however we hope to be hearing from him at some point in the near future on his experiences.
