Diary

Sunday, 7 February 2010 - England will re-unite with one of their oldest rivals when they meet neighbours Wales in their UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying campaign, but they'll also face Montenegro for the very first time.  England also take on Switzerland, who were Fabio Capello's first opponents as England manager almost two years ago to the day. The other Group G opponent will be Bulgaria.

Monday, 15 March 2010 - At a meeting in Zürich the participant countries of Group G failed to reach agreement over the fixture progamme for the Euro 2012 qualification games.

Thursday, 25 March 2010 - UEFA have completed the draw for the qualification process for Euro 2012 at UEFA ExCo in Israel, with England now knowing their fixture schedule in Group G.  England begin with Bulgaria at home on Friday 3 September, before travelling to Switzerland four days later.

Sunday, 2 October 2011 - Jermain Defoe and Rio Ferdinand have been axed by Fabio Capello.  Steven Gerrard was also left out of the 24-man squad for the decisive Europan Championship qualifier against Montenegro on Friday.

Ferdinand was England Captain until six months ago, while in-form Defoe has scored three goals in his last four matches.  Ferdinand had expected to be recalled for the crunch game in Podgorica after recovering from a hamstring strain.  But the 32-year-old did not feature in Manchester United's win over Norwich City, which was watched by Franco Baldini.

Capello chose not to recall Steven Gerrard, after running a personal check of the Liverpool skipper when he made another cameo appearance off the bench in the Merseyside derby.  Gerrard had admitted on Friday that he did not feel he was in the condition to do himself justice after six months out with a groin problem which required surgery and his absence was not a surprise.

Capello named United striker Danny Welbeck, recalled former West Brom keeper Scott Carson, now in Turkey, and gave Fulham's Bobby Zamora his first England call since breaking his leg last year.  Uncapped Kyle Walker was also included in a squad also missing the injured Glen Johnson and Chris Smalling, as well as Jack Wilshere.
