Chris "Mike" Smalling

I was reading the Sky Sports story about the rise of Chris Smalling and did smile at an old photo of him in his Maidstone United days. See what you think...

And have a read, if you haven't seen it, here:

Changed a bit, hasn't he?

He's been fantastic. I heard he might of pulled a hamstring against Spain. Can anyone confirm?

Would be devastating to our defense at the moment.

Well, he didn't play last night against the French and I would have thought he was first choice alongside Cahill.

Physioroom.com says he has a knock, with expected return date of the 21st November, so maybe not a bad one.

Unlike Martial, who has no return date for his foot injury
