England Euro 2012 right-back betting - Kyle Walker 10/11 to start against France

Kyle Walker wants to prove the bookies are right to make him favourite to be England’s right-back in their Euro 2012 opener against France.

The Tottenham full-back is as short as 8/13 to start on the right of the England defence in Donetsk on June 11, with Bet365 offering the biggest price of 10/11.

But even though one of manager Roy Hodgson’s options for that position, Chris Smalling, has been ruled out through injury, Walker knows there are other contenders who could be selected ahead of him.

Those candidates, namely Glen Johnson, Micah Richards and Phil Jones, are likely to be whittled down by at least one when Hodgson names his England squad on May 16.

Walker said: “There is massive competition for the right-back slot. But I want to represent my country. It’s what I’ve been dreaming about since I was a little kid.

“I used to play countless games on the PlayStation. I was always England. I wished I was there and fingers crossed I will be on that plane and then I will be in the team singing the national anthem.

“Roy Hodgson watches the Premier League and will be aware of what is going on. Everyone has a chance to be on that plane. We all need to prove to him that we can do the business at the Euros.

“I have an important game for Tottenham against Fulham first. Hopefully I can cap off a great season and then it will follow on into the summer.”

Odds to be England’s right-back v France at Euro 2012

10/11 Kyle Walker (Bet365)
    5/2 Glen Johnson (Sportingbet)
    9/2 Micah Richards (Bet365)
  16/1 Phil Jones (Stan James)
  25/1 any other player (BetVictor)
