Kelly to join England squad

Liverpool right-back Martin Kelly is set to join up with the England squad for their friendly against Norway on Saturday.

The 22-year-old will link up with the squad but will not remain with them beyond the weekend, and will return to Liverpool following the friendly.

Kelly has earned good reviews for his performances in a largely indifferent campaign for the Anfield club, making 18 appearances in total.

This is Kelly’s first call-up to the senior side after representing his country at youth level.
