Notes
Thursday, 30 January 2003 -
The FA today announced that Middlesbrough F.C. will host England's European Championship Qualifier with Slovakia...
England's penultimate home fixture in their qualifying programme will take place at the Riverside Stadium on Wednesday June 11th, (8.00pm kick off).
Thursday, 22 May 2003 - Liverpool utility player Jamie Carragher has been called into the England squad for the games against Serbia and Montenegro and Slovakia. Carragher, who has not figured in an England squad for more than a year, will join the squad for a five-day training camp in Spain. His last appearance under Sven-Göran Eriksson was as a substitute in the pre-World Cup friendly with Paraguay at Anfield. Carragher will join the squad on Sunday - after the friendly against South Africa - as cover for John Terry, who has a thigh injury. Terry remains hopeful of being fit enough to take part in the La Manga training camp ahead of the friendly with Serbia and Montenegro at Leicester on 3 June and the Euro 2004 qualifier with Slovakia at the Riverside Stadium eight days later. But if the Chelsea player misses the June internationals Eriksson now has another defensive option. Football Association spokesman Adrian Bevington confirmed: "Jamie Carragher will join up with the England party in La Manga on Sunday for the remainder of their summer schedule."
Monday, 19 May 2003 - Gareth Barry has been called into England's squad for the summer internationals. Barry's original omission was a surprise with England's two first-choice left-backs not travelling to South Africa for Thursday's friendly. Ashley Cole and Wayne Bridge will be absent because of their participation in the FA Cup final - but will join up with the squad for the summer's other two games. Eriksson has also been hit by the withdrawal through injury of Chelsea's John Terry. Terry has a thigh injury and will take no part in the South Africa game, although he is hoping to be available for Serbia & Montenegro and Slovakia.
Monday, 12 May 2003 - England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson named Everton's injured striker Wayne Rooney in his 25-man squad for three upcoming matches. Rooney suffered knee ligament damage in Everton's final match of the season against Manchester United on Sunday, and could yet be ruled out of their first game. Players involved in next Saturday's FA Cup final between Arsenal and Southampton will not travel to South Africa but will join the squad on their return.
