Fabio Capello will have been impressed by Bobby Zamora after his match-winning display against Birmingham City, according to Fulham boss Roy Hodgson.
Zamora took his season's tally to 15 goals with the winner in a 2-1 success over the Blues at Craven Cottage on Sunday.
After his superb midweek winner against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Europa League, Zamora produced another outstanding effort in front of the watching England manager.
With the sides locked at 1-1, Stephen Carr fouled Zoltan Gera on the edge of the Birmingham area and Zamora stepped up to plant a curling left-foot free-kick into the top left-hand corner.
"Capello will have been impressed," claimed Hodgson."I know the fans were chanting his name for England and that was quite right.
"Capello knows football very well and is a person I regard as a friend. I've got every faith in his judgement.
"If he believes Bobby can do a job for him he'll pick him.
"I'm sure that being the good judge of a player that he is, he'll have gone away realising that in Bobby Fulham have a good player.
"Bobby is performing like a true target-playing centre forward who brings his team-mates into the game and holds the ball up very well, but because he's skilful he also scores goals.
"Last year he did all of the things we wanted him to do but wasn't lucky, but this year he's added the goals to his good play."
