Meanwhile, youngsters Luke
Shaw, Ross Barkley and Raheem
Sterling have been rewarded for their fine club form with a place in
Hodgson's squad.
News broke late on Sunday evening that Chelsea left-back, Ashley
Cole would not be named in the travelling party and would retire from
international football, meaning the official announcement in Luton on Monday
afternoon delivered few surprises.
Southampton left-back Shaw, 18, has enjoyed an impressive
season in the Premier League and will vie with Leighton Baines for the
left-back berth in Cole's absence. Barkley, 20, and Sterling, 19, have also
stood out for Everton and Liverpool, respectively, and represent a new era for
the Three Lions.
Shaw's Saints team-mates Adam Lallana and Rickie Lambert
have also been called up, while Manchester United defender Phil Jones is also
in despite picking up a shoulder injury against Hull City.
Jones' club-mates Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck are also
included, alongside Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge, who scored 21 Premier League
last season.
