Eriksson to remind Woodgate of responsibilities

Sven-Goran Eriksson is to sit down with Jonathan Woodgate to remind
him of his responsibilities as an England player if he is recalled to
the international fold.

FA chief executive Adam Crozier confirmed that Woodgate is available
for selection for next week's friendly against Portugal after his
international ban was lifted.

Crozier said: "He is now available for selection again. It is a
different question as to whether he is picked or not. That is 100%
down to Sven.

"I've no doubts that, if he is picked, Sven would sit down with him
and say what he expects of an England player.

"In fairness though, Sven does that with everyone."

It is now two years and nine months since Woodgate was charged with
assault and affray following an attack on a student.

The defender, who was cleared of assault but convicted of affray,
completed his community service punishment last season but still had
to miss the World Cup.
