No Owen or James in England Squad

Don Fabio has revealed his England squad to take on Holland in a friendly, and despite all the chatter regarding Michael Owen after his move to Manchester United and decent pre-season form, he remains unselected by Capello.

Probably a smart move to be honest – Owen has scored 4 goals in 6 games but in friendlies against teams Fabio wouldn’t be impressed by. On that subject though, David Beckham keeps his place, despite his move back to the Galaxy.

No Peter Crouch either, which I find surprising as he seemed to fit in, along with Heskey into Fabio’s gameplan pretty well. Full squad after the jump.

Foster (Manchester United), Green (West Ham), Robinson (Blackburn); Bridge (Manchester City), A Cole (Chelsea), Ferdinand (Manchester United), Johnson (Liverpool), Lescott (Everton), Terry (Chelsea), Upson (West Ham); Barry (Manchester City), Beckham (Los Angeles Galaxy), Carrick (Manchester United), Gerrard (Liverpool), Lampard (Chelsea), Milner (Aston Villa), Walcott (Arsenal), Wright-Phillips (Manchester City), Young (Aston Villa); Cole (West Ham), Heskey (Aston Villa), Rooney (Manchester United), Defoe (Tottenham).

Thoughts?
