Southampton's Luke Shaw not thinking about World Cup call

Luke Shaw insists that he is not thinking about earning an England call-up for this summer's World Cup in Brazil.

Southampton left-back Luke Shaw has insisted that the possibility of receiving a call-up to the England squad for this summer's World Cup is not occupying his mind.

The 18-year-old's chances of earning a spot on the plane to Brazil were boosted when he was included in Roy Hodgson's England squad for Wednesday's friendly against Denmark.

"Brazil isn't on my mind at all," the Daily Echo quotes Shaw as saying. "This is just an experience for me to go away and see how training is.

"To experience the Wembley atmosphere, you know what I mean? It would be good for someone like me, at 18. I am not thinking anything about Brazil yet. I've still got games with my club left, and Denmark on Wednesday."

Shaw, who will compete against Leighton Baines and Ashley Cole for a World Cup place, could receive his first senior cap this week.
