Thursday, 20 
March 2008 - 
The FA confirm that England will play 
friendlies against United States on Wednesday 28 May, and Czech Republic on Wednesday 20 
August, with both games at Wembley. Bob Bradley's United States will visit Wembley in May 
for the third friendly of Fabio Capello's reign as England manager, while Czech 
Republic will provide the final warm-up ahead of the first World Cup Qualifier 
in September. 
		  
		  Sunday, 11 
May 2008 - 
Fabio Capello has named a 31-man squad to face United States at 
Wembley, and travel to Trinidad and Tobago for England's final match of the 
season four days later.  Joe Hart receives his first call up to 
the England squad after a strong season with Manchester City, while there are 
six further players who along with Hart are yet to earn an England senior cap.  
Among those players are West Ham United forward Dean Ashton, defenders Phil 
Jagielka, David Wheater and Stephen Warnock, Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Tom 
Huddlestone and Gabriel Agbonlahor.  A quartet of players from 
newly-crowned Premier League Champions Manchester United are included, with Wes 
Brown, Rio Ferdinand, Owen Hargreaves and Wayne Rooney all involved during 
Sunday's title-clinching win at Wigan Athletic.  If Joe Cole is involved 
against United States at Wembley it would be a 50th cap for the Chelsea midfielder. 
		  Friday, 23 May 2008 
- Michael Owen is likely to miss the 
forthcoming friendlies because of a virus.  Owen did not report for England 
duty on Friday and is not expected to play against the United States at Wembley or in Port 
of Spain the following Sunday.  Jermaine Jenas is also out with an ankle 
problem.  
		  Saturday, 24 May 
2008 - Fabio Capello has brought in 
Peterborough United goalkeeper Joe Lewis into his squad after Chris Kirkland 
returned to Wigan Athletic due to a back injury.  The FA said Kirkland 
looks set to miss Wednesday's friendly against the United States after having 
muscle spasms in his back.  Lewis and Peterborough won promotion to League 
One this season. The 20-year-old became Peterborough's record signing in January 
when he signed for £400,000 from Norwich City.
"This is fantastic news for Joe and Peterborough United. It will be 
a fantastic experience for him." Peterborough director of football Barry Fry 
said.  If Lewis makes his debut, he will join a small group of players 
including Johnny Byrne, Peter Taylor and Steve Bull who have played for England 
while plying their trade outside the top two divisions.
