Many thought that Yankey's England days were numbered when she was left out of the squad for Euro 2009, where Hope Powell's team finished as runners-up.Yankey and Stoney will be out to complete a rapid double over Canada as England's preparations for the Euro finals start building momentum with Sunday's friendly international. Powell said: "When a player of Kelly's capability gets injured it's not so much a problem as it once was, because we now have much greater strength in depth.But she bounced back with style and now looks as certain as anyone of claiming a place in the squad for July's Euro 2013 in Sweden.But what the very top teams do is produce consistent performances and results, and that's what we have to start doing. Everyone pretty much told me it was the end of my career when I missed out on selection for Euro 2009," said the Arsenal winger.So for me it's ideal that we're playing Canada again so quickly, to see whether we can produce the same level of performance and hopefully the same result.It was obviously a massive disappointment, but I felt that I was playing well and I certainly didn't feel I had anything to prove when I got back into the squad.
