Diary

Thursday, 1 February 1968 - George Cohen, Fulham's captain and right-back, had a cartilage removed from his right knee in a London hospital today and will not be available for England this month. It will be at leats six weeks before Cohen will be able to help his club in their struggle to avoid relegation from the First Division.

Wednesday, 14 February 1968 - Sir Alf Ramsey named his pool of players today. Twenty English players have been named, but this number will be reduced after the cup-ties this week-end which offer a last check on current form. England will prepare at Lilleshall next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, when nine other playes will join the pool, and then travel up to Troon on Friday.

Thursday, 15 February 1968 - Only 24 hours after having been named in England's party of 16, Jack Charlton, the Leeds United centre-half, withdrew. He has neck and hip injuries and will not play for his club in the cup-tie to-morrow against Nottingham Forest. No replacement has yet been announced and this leaves Everton's Brian Labone as the only recognised centre-half in the remaining fifteen. But Manchester United's David Sadler has deputised in two of the four recent internationals Charlton has missed, and could be promoted from the training squad.

Monday, 19 February 1968 - An F.A. official said that there had been no news of anyone being unfit among England's squad, who will now travel to Troon on Thursday. But Chelsea's John Hollins and Manchester United's David Sadler, two of the nine reserves named, have had to withdraw through injury. There replacements are Chelsea's Peter Osgood and Michael Bailey of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Wednesday, 21 February 1968 - The England squad are in training at Lilleshall. SIr Alf Ramsey said he would not announce his team until to-morrow at the earliest. He also said that Martin Peters, the West Ham United forward, had been unable to train to-day because of a calf-muscle strain and had gone to Wolverhampton for treatment.  The remaining 22 players had a forty-minute game in the morning, watched by Brazilian coach Aymor� Moreira.

Friday, 23 February 1968 - Ramsey had to make a change in the party of fifteen from whom he is expected to select his side to-day, when Peter Bonetti withdrew after a hand injury had failed to respond to treatment and returned to Chelsea. He was been replaced by Everton's Gordon West.  All the other players were fit, including Martin Peters, and successfully came through a final days training session at National Resource Centre in Lilleshall.
