Troy Deeney has been told to continue to prove his England credentials by playing well for Watford.
Hornets boss Walter Mazzarri believes his captain is capable of performing for England if given the opportunity.
The 28-year-old forward has scored three times in the last four games ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash at Middlesbrough.
"Deeney has to show and to prove in the next games that he can be called up to the national team," Mazzarri said.
"When I speak with Troy, I always tell him that he just needs to show it with Watford in order to be called up for the national team.
