Diary

Saturday, 30 July 2011 - England will face Montenegro, Ukraine, Poland, Moldova, and San Marino in Group H when they bid to qualify for the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil. The draw was made this afternoon in Rio. "It is not an easy draw," said Fabio Capello. "You have to be really, really focused and play every game like a final - but that will be another manager's job."

Wednesday, 23 November 2011 - England's FIFA 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying fixtures have today been finalised, following a meeting between all of the Group H member associations in Warsaw. The Three Lions will begin their campaign in Moldova in September 2012.

Tuesday, 20 August 2013 - Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has revealed he could be out of action until November. He was injured during Saturday's opening Premier League defeat by Aston Villa. Manager Arsene Wenger said he expected the midfielder to miss "at least" six weeks.

Tuesday, 27 August 2013 - West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Ben Foster is ruled out for up to 12 weeks with a stress fracture of a bone in his right foot, the club has announced. Foster was forced off in the 77th minute in the goalless draw at Everton on Saturday and will undergo surgery in the next few days.

Roy Hodgson has named his squad to face Moldova and Ukraine and has handed Ross Barkley and Andros Townsend their first senior call-ups.  Rickie Lambert's memorable debut against Scotland and subsequent league form is enough to earn him a second call-up to the squad, while Liverpool's in-form striker Daniel Sturridge returns after missing the previous game through injury.  There is also a return to the squad for uncapped Celtic goalkeeper Fraser Forster, who replaces the injured Ben Foster.

Sunday, 1 September 2013 - The days top Premiership matches cost the England squad three of its main players. Wayne Rooney had a training ground accident with Phil Jones that required head stitches this morning, so he missed his team's defeat at Liverpool.  Glen Johnson limped off with thirteen minutes remaining, as did Jones, in the first half.  The only scorer of the game was Daniel Sturridge, who had been suffering with a thigh injury.  Elsewhere, Jack Wilshere also went off when he was substituted in Arsenal's victory over Tottenham Hotspur. He was complaining of being unwell. Cardiff City's Steve Caulker has been called in as a replacement.

Tuesday, 3 September 2013 - England's first day of training goes well, but four players are not training with the rest of squad. Jack Wilshere, Daniel Sturridge, Jermain Defoe and Steven Caulker are taking part in a light training session instead.

Thursday, 5 September 2013 - Liverpool's in-form striker Daniel Sturridge will miss the match against Moldova at Wembley with a thigh injury. However, the 24-year-old could be fit to play against Ukraine next Tuesday. Steven Caulker also misses out because of an ankle injury.
