England coach Steve McClaren has backed Sol Campbell to excel as replacement for injured captain John Terry in the Euro 2008 qualifier against Estonia.
Terry misses Saturday's game with a knee injury and is battling to be fit to face Russia in Moscow on Wednesday.
McClaren said: "It is good to be able to call up someone of Sol Campbell's experience and quality.
"He has been absolutely tremendous this season and I had no hesitation in bringing him back."
Campbell, 33, will be making his first England appearance since coming on as a substitute against Sweden in the World Cup 16 months ago and will win his 70th cap.
McClaren said: Sol's reaction to being left out was fantastic, as I knew it would be. He is performing well, has got great experience and will add to the team."
Play Up Pompey!!!!
