Phil jones could be in contention for selection into the england squad as the youngster produced a great performance for manchester united against arsene wenger's men during the weekend as the 21-year-old turned up for England training with a cut head from his tussle with France striker Olivier Giroud.
Jones said: "I probably do get a few
bumps and bruises, but that is just the way I play. I am not going to change that.
"It is just the way I play. I want to be strong and aggressive in attack and defence, it just so happens I pick up a few knocks now and again.
"I have always been like that, as a kid I used to get cuts and grazes on my knees from falling over in the playground, I did my ankles and all sorts in Sunday league football, but I enjoyed it and don't mind."
"I want to be strong and
aggressive in attack and defence,
it just so happens I pick up a few
knocks now and again."
Phil Jones Jones has eight England caps so far but has had limited opportunities at centre- back but hopes that will change with time.
"I see it as an advantage if you can play in numerous positions because it can only help you," he added.
"Since I broke into Blackburn's first team, centre-back has always been the target, hopefully I can do that, but I am just really focused on playing and enjoying my football.
"Playing for England is a huge honour. Anytime you are picked for your country, it is a great feeling because there are so
many world-class players who can be.
"For me, it is still everything, and I think if you ask all the players, it will be the same."
