Ok so we have the new squad for England tonight, makes for interesting reading.
England have a friendly against Slovakia this Saturday, before facing the Ukraine next Wednesday in a World Cup Qualifier.
Given the fact it’s a double header you would expect the squad to be stronger than some friendly selections so far and in some ways it is.
All our England hopefuls like Gabby, Ash, Milly, NRC, Luke Young, Sidwell, Davies are all missing.
Yes Gabby and Ash have been dropped.
However Barry has made the squad and so has Heskey.
The full squad is as follows:
Goalkeepers
Ben Foster, Robert Green, David James
Defenders
Leighton Baines, Ashley Cole, Rio Ferdinand, Phil Jagielka, Glen Johnson, Ledley King, Joleon Lescott, John Terry, Matthew Upson
Midfielders
Gareth Barry, David Beckham, Michael Carrick, Stewart Downing, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Aaron Lennon, Shaun Wright-Phillips
Forwards
Carlton Cole, Peter Crouch, Emile Heskey, Wayne Rooney
At least Capello is picking based on form, it’s an improvement over the last few.
Oh well at least we are only risking injury to Barry and Heskey. There’s a bright side to everything.
