Diary

Monday, 15 May 2000 - Kevin Keegan names a 28-man squad for the preparatory friendly matches at Wembley Stadium against Brazil and the Ukraine.  It includes two players yet to make an England appearance, Richard Wright and Steven Gerrard.  A further three players have earned recalls after falling out of favour, although their inclusion was not surprising given the form they had displayed for their club sides.  Nick Barmby, who, through injury and loss of form, had not played for England since Glenn Hoddle's first match in charge, the World Cup qualifier against Moldova in September 1996, has turned in fine performances for Everton throughout the season.  Steve McManaman earned a recall following some brilliant play in Real Madrid's successful European Cup campaign.  And goalkeeper David James, whose only appearance had come against Mexico in March 1997 when he was with Liverpool, had consistently shone for Aston Villa.  It serves as the provisional European Championship squad.

Sunday, 21 May 2000 - As the squad gathers at Burnham Beeches, Jason Wilcox withdraws from the squad because he requires knee surgery to remove floating cartilage. He is replaced with Aston Villa's teenage prodigy, Gareth Barry, who has been promoted from the under-21 squad.

Friday, 19 May 2000 - Keegan has called up Malcolm Crosby, the Swindon Town FC manager, to be a scout for the England team during the upcoming Euro 2000. He joins Nigel Spackman, Kenny Swain and Mike Pejic.

Tuesday, 30 May 2000 - Ray Parlour suffers knee ligament damage in the score draw with Brazil. He is subsequently withdrawn from the squad, as well as Jamie Redknapp, who has also suffered with a recurrence of a knee injury that had sidelined him for four months earlier in the season.

Wednesday, 31 May 2000 - Keegan made his European Championship finals squad selection just before the Ukraine victory, but delays formalizing it until after the match, UEFA's deadline for filing squad lists is tomorrow, with four more players missing out, Aston Villa goalkeeper David James, West Ham United's Rio Ferdinand,  Kieron Dyer of Newcastle United, and Manchester United's Andrew Cole, who has an injured toe. Whereas Nick Barmby, Gareth Barry and Steven Gerrard all get the nod.
