Villa striker to ignore abuse

England duo Shaun Wright-Phillips and Ashley Cole were subjected to monkey chants when the countries last met in Madrid in November, 2004.

Skipper John Terry yesterday confirmed England would support a decision to abandon play if there was a repeat in Seville tonight.

But Agbonlahor, who is expected to be handed his second cap by coach Fabio Capello, hopes the match will pass by without incident.

"Am I concerned? No," said Agbonlahor. "If you look at clubs like Barcelona there are a lot of black players playing there. It should not be a problem."

The Villa forward admits he has a taste for the international stage after making his full debut against Germany last year – and is desperate to avoid being a one-hit wonder.

"For my first game to come against Germany was brilliant – it is one of the biggest games you can play, especially away from home. This is another," added the striker.

"I used to watch Spain when I was growing up, so that will be a big game to play in if I get the chance.

"The manager seems to be picking his squads on Premier League form.

"Luckily I have been doing OK, so hopefully I'll get another chance.

"I don't just want to play once for England, I want to play many games."
