Robbie Fowler expecting England youngsters to shine

Robbie Fowler says that England will do "very, very well" at the World Cup thanks in part to the young players.

Former England international Robbie Fowler believes that the Three Lions will enjoy a positive World Cup campaign due to their 'fearless youngsters'.

Roy Hodgson's side face Italy in Manuas on Saturday night in their opening game, before taking on Uruguay and Costa Rica.

"When you have younger players, they hold no fear," the 39-year-old, who represented England 26 times across six years, told BBC Sport.

"I'm confident England can get out of the group and once you do that your confidence grows. I can see England doing very, very well."

He added: "You have the likes of Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard who will help them. The experienced lads will maybe do everything quite steady and safe whereas the younger lads can express themselves that little bit more."

Fowler scored seven times in his international career.
