Roy Hodgson has announced his England squad for the forthcoming friendlies against San Marino and Poland.
There are call-ups for Kieran Gibbs and Ryan Shawcross but no place for Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand despite the international retirement of John Terry.
Terry's Chelsea team-mate Gary Cahill retains his place in the squad alongside fellow centre-backs Phil Jagielka and Joleon Lescott, while Arsenal's Gibbs joins Ashley Cole, Leighton Baines and Kyle Walker as the defensive options.
