Diary

Thursday, 16 January 2014 - The FA have announced that England's final warm-up match ahead of the 2014 World Cup Finals will be against Peru. The fixture will be played on 30 May before England head to their pre-tournament in Miami, United States.

Monday, 12 May 2014 - Roy Hodgson, at Luton's Vauxhall car factory, has announced his 23-man squad plus seven standby players for the upcoming 2014 World Cup Finals. The only concern within that squad is that with Phil Jones' shoulder injury. His place will go to Everton's John Stones if he does not recover adequately.
Ashley Cole, on finding out that he was not part of the main squad, announced his international retirement before the squad was announced.

Sunday, 18 May 2014 - Frank Lampard has been named as the vice-Captain behind Steven Gerrard, for the World Cup Finals.

Thursday, 22 May 2014 - Squad numbers are assigned.

Thursday, 29 May 2014 - Luke Shaw is the only major doubt for tomorrow's friendly match with Peru after developing a cold.

Friday, 30 May 2014 - Gary Cahill and Phil Jagielka scored second-half goals to earn England a comfortable win over Peru in their last home game before the World Cup. Daniel Sturridge's fine curler lit up a turgid first half with Joe Hart saving well after Peru's Luis Ramirez was clean through on goal. Cahill then headed in from Leighton Baines's corner after 65 minutes. And centre-back partner Jagielka poked in after Peru goalkeeper Raul Fernandez dropped another Baines corner.

Saturday, 31 May 2014 - Midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and defender Phil Jones are set to start for England in their friendly against Ecuador after recovering from injuries. They have struggled with groin and shoulder problems respectively and should be fit for the match in Miami. "They will both play from the start," said England manager Roy Hodgson. "They could have both played against Peru, but we thought an extra day's training would do them more good than being on the bench." Everton left-back Leighton Baines, 29, could be rested after he was substituted on Friday because of a groin strain, although Hodgson said it was not a serious issue. Southampton's Luke Shaw, 18, may replace Baines after recovering from a cold that kept him out of the Peru game.

Monday, 2 June 2014 - As England arrive in Miami, it is announced that Rickie Lambert had signed for Liverpool FC at their Melwood base yesterday, before they jetted off.

Wednesday, 4 June 2014 - England draw 2-2 with Ecuador in Miami that see's Raheem Sterling become England's youngest sending off after an altercation with Antonio Valencia, who was also sent off.  Wayne Rooney and Rickie Lambert scored the vital goals, but Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was substituted after picking up an injury he received from the heavy-handed Ecuadorians.
Sterling is suspended for the match against Honduras.

Thursday, 5 June 2014 - Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain says he is staying positive over his chances of playing in the World Cup. The FA confirmed that the 20-year-old suffered a medial knee ligament injury. It is understood Oxlade-Chamberlain only sprained the ligament and did not tear it. He is expected to be out for two to three weeks. He is therefore unlikely to play a part in England's first two group matches, but that may not stop him from travelling to Brazil with the squad on Saturday night.

Saturday, 7 June 2014 - England earn a scoreless draw against a ten-man Honduras team.  Hodgson also confirms that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be fit for the World Cup.

Monday, 9 June 2014 - In England's first training session since arriving at their military base camp in Urca, in the shadow of Sugar Loaf Mountain, twenty-two of the squad are participation. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is the one player missing, continuing his rehabilitation on his injured knee. Steven Gerrard leaves training early after complaining still of a tight groin. A problem he had during the Honduras match.

Tuesday, 10 June 2014 - In today's training session, concerns were raised over Danny Welbeck and an injury sustained to his thigh. He pulled up in training and took no further part.  It was also revealed that the squad have started taking anti-malaria tablets today, in preparation for their trip into the Amazon.

Wednesday, 11 June 2014 - Danny Welbeck missed training today, but only as a precaution. He will be fit for the opening match on Saturday. The only other absentee was again, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who continues his rehabilitation in private

Saturday, 14 June 2014 - England lose their opening match at the World Cup with a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Italy. Although Sturridge equalised in the first half, cancelling out a Marchisio shot. A Balotelli header in the second half leave England without any points.
The only casualty is team physiotherapist, Gary Lewin, who fractured his ankle whilst celebrating Sturridge's goal. He is to return to England tomorrow.

Monday, 16 June 2014 - Roy Hodgson admits that he may change his line-up to get the required result against Uruguay. But those changes will not include Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who is still recovering from injury.
England return to training at Urca Military Base. All 23 members of the squad joined in, until Oxlade-Chamberlain continued his rehabilitation elsewhere.

Wednesday, 18 June 2014 - England land in Sao Paulo and headed straight for Arena de São Paulo for their final training session ahead of their match against Uruguay. All 23 men took part, although after the session, Hodgson did admit that the Uruguay match has come to soon for Oxlade-Chamberlain, who will once again, be sidelined.

Thursday, 19 June 2014 - England lose their second match at the World Cup Finals when a Luis Suarez brace sinks England's hopes. His winner cancelled out a Wayne Rooney equaliser, his first in Final competition. England must now rely on Italy winning their two remaining matches, and come away with a victory in their own final group match next Tuesday.  It is the first time that England have lost their two opening World Cup Final matches.

Friday, 20 June 2014 - England are eliminated from the 2014 World Cup after Costa Rica pulled off a shock win over Italy.  It is the first time since 1958 that England have failed to progress out of the group stage.
The Football Association have confirmed that Roy Hodgson's job is safe. "We're supportive of Roy Hodgson, we've asked him to stay as manager, That is the view of myself, of everybody else here and of others in The FA."

Monday, 23 June 2014 - Frank Lampard will captain England tomorrow in their final group match, with Steven Gerrard rested on the bench. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has had a setback in his recovery with his knee injury flaring up again and Leighton Baines will miss out because of a hamstring injury.  Roy Hodgson has said that all those players that have yet to feature in the World Cup Finals "will get some minutes."

And there is a first senior call up for Southampton left-back Luke Shaw, who makes the step-up from Gareth Southgate's Under-21 squad.
