England manager Roy Hodgson has named an experimental squad for their upcoming friendly against Italy, with Wayne Rooney and John Terry missing out, while Michael Carrick and Adam Johnson have both earned recalls to the team.
There are first senior call-ups for
Tottenham dup Steven Caulker and Jake Livermore as well as Ryan
Bertrand, while Tom Cleverley joins Manchester United team-mate Carrick
in midfield.
There are two goalkeepers in the squad both hoping
to earn their first senior caps, as John Ruddy is back in the team after
breaking his finger in the pre-Euro 2012 training camp, while Jack
Butland is included after impressive displays for Team GB at the
Olympics.
Frank Lampard is back in the team after pulling out of
Euro 2012 with injury, while up front Hodgson has chosen a mix of
strikers including Andy Carroll, Jermain Defoe, Theo Walcott and Daniel
Sturridge, who was not picked for Euro 2012.
The squad is due to
meet up on Sunday evening after the Community Shield between Chelsea and
Manchester City at Villa Park, and will travel to Switzerland on
Tuesday ahead of Wednesday's match.
