England 23-Man Squad For Euro 2012 Qualifier Against Montenegro

Sent to you by aulia via Google Reader: England 23-Man Squad For Euro 2012 Qualifier Against Montenegro via The 90th Minute Soccer Blog by Jonathon Feyerherm on 10/4/10 Fabio Capello has named the England squad for the upcoming Euro 2012 qualifying matches against Montenegro at Wembley Stadium. Many of the players from the World Cup and earlier qualifying return to the squad with only a few newer players. Stephen Warnock gets a call up as does Kevin Davies but both are likely to be back-ups. The midfield remains about the same except for no Frank Lampard (injury). Capello has several options in here with younger players Jack Wilshere and Adam Johnson as well as the speed of Aaron Lennon and Shaun Wright-Phillips. Joe Cole is also in the roster and could start because of his experience at the international level. Up top, it’s Wayne Rooney, Darren Bent, Peter Crouch, and the first call-up ever for Bolton striker Kevin Davies. Rooney is likely to start with either Bent or Crouch and Davies as a back-up in case of injuries or second half sub. What do you think of the roster? Are there any players you’d include that weren’t or who would you have chosen? England 23- Man Squad For Montengro Match Goalkeepers - Ben Foster (Birmingham City), Robert Green (West Ham United), Joe Hart (Manchester City) Defenders - Ashley Cole (Chelsea), Phil Jagielka (Everton), Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Rio Ferdinand (Manchester United), Joleon Lescott (Manchester City), John Terry (Chelsea), Stephen Warnock (Aston Villa) Midfielders - Gareth Barry (Manchester City), Joe Cole (Liverpool), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Tom Huddlestone (Tottenham Hotspur), Adam Johnson (Manchester City), Aaron Lennon (Tottenham Hotspur), Jack Wilshere (Arsenal), Shaun Wright-Phillips (Manchester City), Ashley Young (Aston Villa) Forwards - Darren Bent (Sunderland), Peter Crouch (Tottenham Hotspur), Kevin Davies (Bolton Wanderers), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United) Things you can do from here: - Subscribe to The 90th Minute Soccer Blog using Google Reader - Get started using Google Reader to easily keep up with all your favorite sites
