Notes

Tuesday, 16 August 2005 - Chelsea winger Shaun Wright-Phillips has pulled out of the England squad because of a knee injury.  "Shaun is not here; he is in England as he has a swollen knee," said national team coach Sven-Göran Eriksson.  The Swede revealed Jermain Defoe will start in preparation for September's World Cup qualifying double-header.  Eriksson said he would not pick Michael Owen because he is suspended for the Wales game following two bookings.  "I am going to play the best team which can play against Wales so that means Michael Owen won't start.  It's not a difficult decision - this game is to prepare for Wales and Northern Ireland."  Darren Bent took part in his first senior England training session on Monday despite being troubled by a dead leg during Charlton's win at Sunderland on Saturday.  "Darren has pace, good technique, he can score goals and has been one of the best players in the Under-21 side.  With Peter Crouch and Andy Johnson injured it was natural to take a look at him. He did a good session on Monday so we'll see if he comes on."

Sunday, 14 August 2005 - Sven-Göran Eriksson has replaced the injured Andy Johnson with Charlton Athletic's Darren Bent.  "Andy is injured, we got a late phone call that he has a hamstring injury, so Darren Bent is in."  Eriksson revealed Manchester United's Alan Smith asked not to be included so he could play for the club's reserves.  Eriksson added: "Alan has had such little football he said he would rather get 90 minutes under his belt on Tuesday for United's reserves."

Saturday, 13 August 2005 - Sven-Göran Eriksson has been included Crystal Palace striker Andy Johnson in his England squad for the friendly against Denmark on 17 August in Copenhagen.  Johnson has expressed fears that staying at relegated Palace would endanger his England chances.  But there was no place for Manchester United striker Alan SmithBirmingham City's Matthew Upson is called up with Sol Campbell, Ledley King and Wayne Bridge all injured, while Norwich City goalkeeper Robert Green is included.  Injury means Liverpool's Peter Crouch and Newcastle United's Kieron Dyer are both absent but Jermain Defoe is called up.  Michael Carrick, who also performed well in the US, retains his spot among the midfielders.
