Saturday, 14 
August 2004  
- Jermain Defoe and Shaun 
Wright-Phillips are among several young players Sven-Göran Eriksson has 
picked in the England squad to face Ukraine.  
Glen Johnson, Chris Kirkland, Matthew Upson and 
Alan Smith were also selected as Eriksson backs up his plans to build for the 
future.  Nicky Butt was included as well but Phil Neville, Joe Cole and Ian 
Walker were all omitted.  Eriksson will also be analysing players to 
replace the retired Paul Scholes.  Walker was the third choice keeper at 
Euro 2004 but it seems the Swede prefers Kirkland who is fit again. 
Sol Campbell and Jonathan Woodgate are injured and Rio Ferdinand is suspended so 
Matthew Upson returns to the squad.  Ledley King and Jamie Carrager keep 
their places from the squad Eriksson chose for Portugal. But the battle to take 
over from Scholes in midfield is the most interesting aspect with Kieron Dyer, 
Wright-Phillips, Owen Hargreaves and Jermaine Jenas hoping to impress. 
In attack, Wayne Rooney is 
also out injured so the England coach will cast his eye over Defoe and Smith who 
both just missed out on the Euro 2004 squad. Eriksson watched Defoe grab an 
equaliser for Tottenham against Liverpool on Saturday while Smith has started 
his Manchester United career in impressive fashion.
