against Germany on 22 August 2007.
Diary
Friday, 27 January
2006 - The European Championships Qualification draw
is made today in Montreux. It pits England up against Croatia, Russia, Israel,
Macedonia, Andorra and Estonia.
Friday, 3
March 2006 - Group E
fixtures were negotiated today at a meeting between the Football
Association and fellow participants in Nyon, Switzerland.
Friday, 31 August
2007 - Blackburn Rover's David
Bentley and Aston Villa winger Ashley Young are in England's squad to face
Israel and Russia in the Euro 2008 qualifiers. Bentley and Young, both 22,
have been drafted in after David Beckham and Kieron Dyer were ruled out by
injury. Chelsea star Frank Lampard is also a doubt after suffering a torn
thigh. With Beckham sidelined for six weeks with a knee injury and Dyer out with
a broken leg, McClaren is short of alternatives and Bentley has made an
outstanding start to the new campaign. McClaren was upset Beckham is now set for
a lengthy spell on the sidelines after his injury, sustained playing for LA
Galaxy. "It is a big blow for us. He is a big player and we are coming up
to big games and we need big players for big games. He is injured and how
well he recovers and how fast he recovers and how he plays from there on we will
see." Bentley and Young are the only uncapped outfield players in
McClaren's squad. Young offers the England coach another option on the
flank in absence of Beckham and Dyer, and with Spurs winger Aaron Lennon still
not fit. Striker Wayne Rooney is already ruled out of the games, both at
Wembley on 8 and 12 September, with a broken metatarsal in his foot, while
fellow forward Peter Crouch is suspended for the Israel game. At the back
Wayne Bridge and Ledley King definitely miss out, Gary Neville still has ankle
trouble. Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard missed their Champions League
qualifier against Toulouse in midweek with a broken toe, and is already a doubt
for the game against Derby County at Anfield. If he fails to play on Saturday,
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez will be reluctant to see him risked by England.
Sunday,
2 September 2007 - Steve McClaren
has called Wigan Athletic forward Emile Heskey into his squad for the Euro 2008
qualifiers against Israel and Russia. The Wigan striker won the last of
his 43 appearances against France at Euro 2004. McClaren watched the 29-year-old
in action for Wigan at Newcastle on Saturday and subsequently requested his
release from the Latics. "I think he deserves to be recalled. We need his
experience at this time. Emile is a player with a lot international
experience and has played many times with Michael Owen in the past. He's been in
good form for Wigan this season, he played very well against Sunderland and I
saw him play well against Newcastle. While he has been out of the squad
for a few years, I've spoken with Chris Hutchings who has been hugely impressed
with him." Peter Crouch is suspended for Saturday's encounter with Israel
at Wembley, while Wayne Rooney has been sidelined with a broken bone in his
foot. Heskey was called into the squad under former coach Sven-Göran Eriksson
for games against Northern Ireland and Azerbaijan in March 2005 but did not
play.
Monday,
3 September 2007 - Everton
defender Joleon Lescott has been called up to England's squad. Steve
McClaren made the decision after Portsmouth's Sol Campbell pulled out through
injury. Chelsea's Frank Lampard is almost certain to miss England's
games. McClaren remains confident Liverpool's Steven Gerrard will be fit.
Birmingham-born Lescott has been key to Everton's good start to the new Premier
League season.
