Fabio Capello has named a 23-man squad for his final friendly before the World Cup qualifiers begin, with Czech Republic the opponents at Wembley on Wednesday evening.

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart keeps his place in the senior squad having earned his first cap as a substitute in the last England match - away to Trinidad and Tobago.

Emile Heskey is included having missed out through injury after being selected in Fabio Capello's first squad ahead of the friendly with Switzerland. Portsmouth forward Jermain Defoe is also in the squad having bagged a brace during England's last outing.

West Ham United forward Dean Ashton has not been selected due to injury.

After taking on Petr Rada's Czech Republic side, England face Andorra away on Saturday 6 September before meeting Croatia four days later in Zagreb.

Without Owen, Englands attack seems fairly weak to me. Personally I'd give a call to Bent and see what he could do .

No OH is a bit of a surprise but I guess its just a friendly.

 

[Zenitka]

Carrick!

Ole ole ole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[VaVa]

Glen Johnson i think is top class.... played so well last year with a run of games with Portsmouth, i think he might eventually be Englands first choice Rb.
what ya think??

I think he's pretty good when he isn't busy stealing toilet seats.

England Squad

Fabio Capello has named a 23-man squad for his final friendly before the World Cup qualifiers begin, with Czech Republic the opponents at Wembley on Wednesday evening.

James (Portsmouth), Robinson (Blackburn), Hart (Manchester City), Bridge (Chelsea), A Cole (Chelsea), Terry (Chelsea), Brown (Manchester United), Ferdinand (Manchester United), Johnson (Portsmouth), Woodgate (Tottenham), Upson (West Ham), Walcott (Arsenal), Barry (Aston Villa), J Cole (Chelsea), Lampard (Chelsea), Beckham (Los Angeles Galaxy), Gerrard (Liverpool), Carrick (Manchester United), Downing (Middlesbrough), Bentley (Tottenham), Rooney (Manchester United), Defoe (Portsmouth), Heskey (Wigan).

Carrick has finally made it. He should always be in the squad imo.
Im suprised Hesky is in the team and Upson.

We'll see where they slot Richards. Since Richards can play either CB or RB efficiently, its up to the manager. However England tend to always have 3-4 good centerbacks, so it would be ideal for Richards to play RB (better than on the bench).

Johnson is a quality player, and will for sure be in the squad for years to come.

 

[marty davidson]

it is a joke that Heskey is in the England squad

 

[spellbound]

it is a joke that Heskey is in the England squad

An unfit Rooney to attack along with Defoe and Heskey..OMG! Fab is playing with fire.

 

[Check the Milkman]

How is Ashley Young not in the squad. He is twice the player Walcott is

 

[abojodeh]

lmao Cappelo is funny
