New England forwards impress James Milner

England's James Milner hails the quality of the team's new forwards as Wayne Rooney's absence offers opportunites up front in Wednesday's Wembley friendly against the Netherlands.

Sunderland's Frazier Campbell, Danny Welbeck of Manchester United and Chelsea's Daniel Sturridge have all yet to make their full international debut but could get a chance under interim manager Stuart Pearce.

Milner credits former boss Fabio Capello for the faith shown in him whilst backing the new coach, under whom he became the most-capped U21 international in England's history, to succeed in his temporary role.
