| Barkley and Townsend named in England squad Posted: 27 Aug 2013 09:46 AM PDT Everton's Barkley, 19, and Tottenham Hotspur's Townsend, 22, received their first senior call-ups and Southampton forward Rickie Lambert was given another chance after scoring on his debut against Scotland two weeks ago. "In choosing these players, we're giving ourselves a chance to look at players who have got a very bright future and who are capable at the moment of making an impact, making a difference to a game as we see them do each week at the very top level of Premier League football," England's football manager Roy Hodgson (pic) told a news conference yesterday at Wembley Stadium. Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge, who missed that match due to injury, was recalled to the squad and Celtic goalkeeper Fraser Forster replaced the injured Ben Foster. "It's a great pity because he's been in extremely good form at the start of this season and he's our number two goalkeeper," Hodgson said of Foster. "We just have to hope the injury isn't as bad or takes as long to heal as projected." England face Moldova at Wembley on Sept. 6 before travelling to Kiev to play Ukraine on Sept. 10. ENGLAND SQUAD Goalkeepers: Fraser Forster (Celtic), Joe Hart (Manchester City), John Ruddy (Norwich City). Defenders: Leighton Baines (Everton), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Ashley Cole (Chelsea), Phil Jagielka (Everton), Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Phil Jones (Manchester United), Chris Smalling (Manchester United), Kyle Walker (Tottenham Hotspur). Midfielders: Ross Barkley (Everton), Michael Carrick (Manchester United), Tom Cleverley (Manchester United), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), James Milner (Manchester City), Raheem Sterling (Liverpool), Andros Townsend (Tottenham Hotspur), Theo Walcott (Arsenal), Jack Wilshere (Arsenal). Forwards: Jermain Defoe (Tottenham Hotspur), Rickie Lambert (Southampton), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool), Danny Welbeck (Manchester United), Ashley Young (Manchester United).

| West Brom keeper Foster out for up to three months Posted: 27 Aug 2013 07:03 AM PDT West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Ben Foster could be sidelined for up to three months with a stress fracture in his foot, manager Steve Clarke said today. The England international limped off after 77 minutes of his side's 0-0 draw with Everton on Saturday and will have surgery on his right foot later in the week. "There's no hiding the fact this is disappointing news as Ben is a key player for us," Clarke told the Premier League club's website (www.wba.co.uk). "He was excellent on Saturday before his injury forced him off." West Brom's reserve keepers are Wales international Boaz Myhill and Luke Daniels, who made his first-team debut when coming on for Foster. – Reuters, August 27, 2013. |
