    England squad to face Switzerland

    Fulham striker Bobby Zamora has been called up for the England squad to face Switzerland in the Euro 2012 qualifier on 4 June at Wembley.

    Zamora is joined by Fulham team-mate David Stockdale, who is one of three keepers alongside Manchester City's Joe Hart and West Brom's Scott Carson.

    Manchester United's Michael Carrick is also recalled to the 26-man squad.

    Arsenal's Jack Wilshere, left out of the Under-21s squad, is included while Wayne Rooney is suspended.

    The striker collected a yellow card in England's 2-0 win over Wales at the Millennium Stadium in March, his second of the qualifying campaign, forcing England boss Fabio Capello to reassess his attacking options against Switzerland.

    However, the Italian has faced a greater quandary with his goalkeeping options following Ben Foster's decision to take an indefinite break from international football earlier this month.

    The Birmingham keeper had been Joe Hart's number two, but the 28-year-old cited "niggling injuries" as the main reason for his hiatus.

    And West Ham's Robert Green has been overlooked in favour of Carson and Stockdale, who was first summoned to the England squad for the friendly against Denmark in February.

    Stockdale has made 10 appearances for Fulham this season, although his last game for Mark Hughes's side was the 4-0 FA Cup victory over Spurs at the end of January.

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13507846.stm

    England squad:
    Goalkeepers: Scott Carson, Joe Hart, David Stockdale;

    Defenders: Leighton Baines, Gary Cahill, Ashley Cole, Rio Ferdinand, Phil Jagielka, Glen Johnson, Joleon Lescott, John Terry, Kyle Walker;

    Midfielders: Gareth Barry, Michael Carrick, Stewart Downing, Adam Johnson, Frank Lampard, James Milner, Scott Parker, Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere, Ashley Young;

    Strikers: Darren Bent, Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe, Bobby Zamora.



    I'd expect:

    Hart
    Johnson Ferdinand Terry Cole
    Parker Wilshere Lampard
    Young Bent Johnson

    Barry is the first midfielder on the list.

    How? Yeah I know alphabetical but he deserves to be last.
