Notes

Wednesday, 3 September 2003 - Rio Ferdinand is ruled out of the match to face Macedonia on Saturday.  He will be reassessed after the weekend to determine his availability for the Liechtenstein match.

Tuesday, 2 September 2003 - Steven Gerrard (ankle injury), and Trevor Sinclair (swollen knee) withdraw from the squad to face Macedonia, but are hopeful to return for the match against Liechtenstein.  Rio Ferdinand has a kidney infection so Eriksson brings in Birmingham City defender Matthew Upson as cover.

Wednesday, 27 August 2003 - Manager Sven-Göran Eriksson announces a 24-man squad for the European qualification games against Macedonia and Liechtenstein.
