Knight made his England senior debut as a half-time substitute for Sol Campbell in May's friendly against the USA and followed that three days later with his full debut against Colombia.

Speaking to TheFA.com at the end of the USA tour, Knight was keeping his fingers crossed that there would be more England appearances to come.

"I felt that I would come along and just take part in training and make up the numbers, but Sven's thrown me in at the deep end and I felt that I've done really well," he said.

"Coming on for the second-half in the first game, then 90 minutes [against Colombia], I really enjoyed it.

"It is still sinking in. I had a lot of messages of congratulation from friends, family and team-mates. Even Chris Coleman sent me a fax.

"If I'm doing well for Fulham, the manager's spoke to me and said he'll come and watch," Knight continued. "No one's guaranteed so I'll just go out and play my club football.

"I've really enjoyed it and hopefully there will be more to come."

Now Zat Knight will get another chance to impress Sven as he joins the England squad for dinner tonight ahead of Saturday's qualifier against Wales.
