Sadly for Bobby, no.
His best Premiership season was 2010, but injuries deprived him of the chance to shine in Fulham's Europa Cup final, or be in the England squad for the ill-fated World Cup (probably a blessing in disguise). Unfortunately those increasingly look to have been his best chances on the international stage.
To be honest, since then the case for him to be in the national squad has been dwindling. He's not had a particularly good season, and there are now another 4 or 5 names ahead of him.
The fact Hodgson knows and rates him may give a glimmer of hope, but frankly it's only a glimmer.
