Fabio Capello has recalled West Ham's Matthew Upson in the absence of John Terry for England's Euro 2012 qualifiers with Bulgaria and Switzerland.
Terry and Chelsea team-mate Frank Lampard withdrew due to injury, while Rio Ferdinand is still struggling.
West Brom goalkeeper Scott Carson could be in line for his first competitive game for England since dropping a clanger and letting Croatia's Niko Kranjcar score in the Euro 2008 play-off three years ago.
Spurs forward Jermain Defoe is included despite suffering with a groin problem. Harry Redknapp had been planning to send the striker for a operation but changed his mind at the last minute.
England welcome Bulgaria on Friday September 3 and then travel to Switzerland on Tuesday 7.
Full squad:
Scott Carson (West Brom), Ben Foster (Birmingham), Joe Hart (Manchester City).
Gary Cahill (Bolton), Ashley Cole (Chelsea), Michael Dawson (Tottenham), Kieran Gibbs (Arsenal), Phil Jagielka (Everton), Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Joleon Lescott (Manchester City), Matthew Upson (West Ham).
Gareth Barry (Manchester City), Michael Carrick (Manchester United), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Adam Johnson (Manchester City), James Milner (Manchester City), Theo Walcott (Arsenal), Shaun Wright-Phillips (Manchester City), Ashley Young (Aston Villa).
Darren Bent (Sunderland), Carlton Cole (West Ham), Peter Crouch (Tottenham), Jermain Defoe (Tottenham), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United).
