Bayern Munich star Owen Hargreaves
has set his sights on securing an England recall.
The midfielder is close to full fitness having overcome the broken
leg he suffered last autumn.
Hargreaves will get the chance to impress England manager Steve
McClaren who is set to take in Bayern's clash with Real Madrid in
the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.
And he is eager to make his mark as he wants to be involved in this
month's Euro 2008 qualifiers with Israel and Andorra.
"I definitely want to be back to top form by then as I'm looking
forward to those games and they are definitely a goal of mine," he
told The Sun.
"They will be big games for England and we also have big games
coming up for Bayern including the second leg against Real
Madrid.
"It was a very difficult time for me when I was out for so long
with my injury.
"I went from the high of the World Cup to five months of
frustration because I couldn't play.
"But I worked hard to come back and I've been getting stronger
every week.
"England is very important to me and I want to show I'm over my
problems. The only way to do that is on the pitch."
