All information is
complete to and including England's last match, the sixth of the 2007-08 season,
against Austria on 16 November 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, 9
November 2007, early afternoon -
David Beckham has been recalled to England's squad for the friendly in Austria
and the final Euro 2008 qualifier against Croatia.
If Russia win in Israel on 17 November, even an England win against Croatia at
Wembley four days later would not be enough to qualify for the tournament.
But Beckham has proved his fitness with LA Galaxy and McClaren has handed him an
instant comeback. Captain John Terry is not included as he recovers from
knee surgery. Chelsea's Ashley Cole is back after missing the defeat in
Russia with an ankle injury sustained in the 3-0 win against Estonia at Wembley.
Terry pulled out of the Moscow defeat after his injury flared up in England's
final training session and has since had an operation. McClaren travelled
to Los Angeles to meet Beckham and discuss his current condition with the
fitness team at his LA Galaxy club in readiness for bringing him back.
Chelsea's Wayne Bridge is also back in contention after regaining
fitness, a boost for McClaren, who used Everton's Joleon Lescott as an emergency
left-back in the Moscow defeat. Rio
Ferdinand is suspended for the Croatia game and has not been considered, but
Micah Richards is included despite suffering a knee injury.
Friday, 9
November 2007, late afternoon -
Wayne Rooney is out for up to four weeks after sustaining an ankle injury in
training. In-form Rooney, 22, has just
been named Premier League player of the month for October after scoring seven
goals in his last seven United games. Steve McClaren said: "It's hugely
disappointing. "Given the form he has been in and the contribution he has
made to England over the last two games means it is a blow. But we have to
deal with it, like we have dealt with situations like these before. It is
an opportunity for someone else to come and do a job."
Wednesday, 14 November 2007 -
Owen Hargreaves has been ruled out of England's friendly with Austria in Vienna
on Friday with a knee injury.
Hargreaves will stay in Manchester for treatment and his fitness will be
reassessed ahead of next week's Euro 2008 qualifier against Croatia.
Chelsea winger Shaun Wright-Phillips should be fit despite missing Tuesday's
training session with an ankle injury.
Sunday, 18 November 2007 -
Steve McClaren has called up striker Darren Bent to his squad for the Euro 2008
qualifier against Croatia at Wembley on Wednesday.
Bent has been drafted in after Michael Owen was ruled out with a thigh injury
picked up in the friendly 1-0 victory in Austria on Friday. McClaren's
injury concerns have been eased with defensive midfielder Owen Hargreaves being
available.
