David Beckham has been in the limelight with his return to Steve McClaren's squad and the England team will play their first match at the new Wembley when they face Brazil on Friday - but Shorey knows it is the Estonia result that matters.

England new boy: Reading's Nicky Shorey

After defeat to Croatia and draws against Israel and Macedonia, the pressure is on England to pick up a win on June 6.

Shorey, who has earned his first England call-up, admits Beckham's recall means all eyes will be on the national team this week.

He said: "It's heightened the publicity around the game even more, but from my point of view it will just be nice to go out and train with players of that stature.

"The Brazil game couldn't be a better showpiece for the new Wembley Stadium, and I'm sure everyone in England will be tuning in to watch so it will be a great experience for me to be involved in.

"But really it all just leads up to the all-important game in Estonia, which is one we have to win."
