Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain wants more

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain says that there is more to come from him should retain his starting berth with England.

Winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has vowed to take his England chance if he is called upon to face Sweden.

The Arsenal midfielder was preferred to Stewart Downing to start the 1-1 draw with France on Monday. The 18-year-old has impressed for both club and country over the past year, and he is now hoping to keep his place for the match in Kiev on Friday.

"Whether I keep my place is not for me to say. I'll just keep working hard in training and if I do get the call I'll give it my all," he said.

"It was a nice surprise but one I needed to expect and be ready for if and when it came. It was a massive honour for me to get out there and represent my country in a competition like Euro 2012.

"I showed in small glimpses what I can do but I would have liked to have done a bit better and got on the ball a bit more in different positions where I like to attack players."

England face Sweden in Kiev in their second Group D game on Friday.
