Lescott

          Lescott heads in to England's World Cup qualifier against Montenegro on the back of what has been a rollercoaster 18 months for the Manchester City centre-back.An injury crisis at the back allowed Lescott a way back in to the side last week, however, and the 30-year-old is now likely to be one of the first names on Roy Hodgson's team sheet for Tuesday's crunch qualifier in Podgorica.City's kitwoman, used to seeing Lescott turn up on his day off, had even laid Lescott's training gear out for him, but she had to put it away after hearing of the defender's call-up after injuries to Phil Jagielka, Michael Dawson, Rio Ferdinand and Gary Cahill.Having won over the plaudits who questioned his £24million price tag, Lescott was part of City's title-winning side last year and he then went on to gain acclaim with England, playing every minute of the Three Lions' Euro 2012 campaign.Towards the end of the season, I'll address that. But for now, I'm fully focused on England and what England need to do.The former Wolves and Everton centre-back has suffered something of a dip since then, however. Lescott dropped down the pecking order at the Etihad Stadium following the arrival of Matija Nastasic, and as a result he did not feature in the international friendlies against Sweden and Brazil.
