England will have to do without Danny Welbeck and Michael Carrick for their international friendlies against Chile and Germany.

England suffer double blow

The Manchester United duo were involved in helping the Three Lions reach the World Cup in Brazil next summer but will take no part in the games this month.

Welbeck missed United’s 1-0 victory over Arsenal in the Premier League at the weekend due to an knee injury, whilst Carrick (who played against the Gunners) is continuing to struggle with an Achilles problem.

England boss Roy Hodgson has decided not to call any new players up as cover and will have 26 men to chose from for the encounters with Chile on Friday and Germany the following Tuesday.

The Three Lions are 20/1 to win the 2014 World Cup outright and 13/8 to keep a clean sheet against Chile on Friday.

Hodgson’s side can be backed at 15/2 to beat their South American opponents 2-1 at Wembley, with Andros Townsend available at 14/1 to open the scoring.

Saints’ pair handed England calls

Uncapped Southampton duo Jay Rodriguez and Adam Lallana have been called into England boss Roy Hodgson’s squad for the upcoming friendlies against Chile and Germany.

Saints' pair handed England calls

Hodgson, who has already handed Saints’ striker Rickie Lambert his first taste of international football, has returned to St Mary’s to offer the chance for 24-year-old striker Rodriguez, who has scored four goals so far this season, and 25-year-old midfielder, Lallana, to pick up their first caps.

Rodriguez has previously made one appearance for the Under-21s, away in Italy in 2011, while Lallana has featured at Under-18s, Under-19s and Under-21s level and was also called up to the senior squad for last year’s game against Ukraine.

On their call-ups to the 28-man squad, Hodgson said at his press conference on Thursday: “Adam was with us once a long time ago. We saw him in training, we have been following him closely and he played a major part in [Southampton's] rise to the top. Quite obvious we would pick him.

“With Jay [Rodriguez], Danny Welbeck has been injured, we hope he will be fit, but we see Jay filling that Welbeck role, a wide forward who likes to go forward and attack people.”

Manchester City’s Joe Hart has been called up and Hodgson confirmed that he remains his number one despite him being dropped by his club manager Manuel Pellegrini following a number of high-profile mistakes. However the Three Lions’ coach revealed that Hart will only start one of the two games because he wants to have a look at Norwich goalkeeper John Ruddy and Celtic custodian Fraser Forster.

Elsehwere, there are also recalls for Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson and Arsenal full-back Kieran Gibbs, while the Gunners’ midfielder Jack Wilshere is included despite his ongoing ankle problem.

England play Chile on 15th November and Germany four days later as part of their preparations for next summer’s World Cup finals.

Goalkeepers
Fraser Forster, Joe Hart, John Ruddy.

Defenders
Leighton Baines, Gary Cahill, Ashley Cole, Kieran Gibbs, Phil Jagielka, Glen Johnson, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Kyle Walker.

Midfielders
Ross Barkley, Michael Carrick, Tom Cleverley, Steven Gerrard, Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana, Frank Lampard, James Milner, Andros Townsend, Jack Wilshere.

Forwards
Jermain Defoe, Rickie Lambert, Jay Rodriguez, Wayne Rooney, Daniel Sturridge, Daniel Welbeck.

England are 20/1 to win the 2014 World Cup and 12/1 to win Euro 2016.

History means nothing to Low

History means nothing to Low

Germany head coach Joachim Low is determined to try and end his country’s international tournament jinx against Italy in the semi-finals of Euro 2012.

Germany have never beaten the Azzurri at either the World Cup or the European Championship, but Low insists that he is not concerned about the past, only Thursday night’s game in Warsaw.

We can’t turn back time, the past doesn’t play a role in our planning.

Joachim Low

Die Mannschaft are 2/5 to reach the final, 9/1 to progress after extra-time and 10/1 to require penalties to see off Italy.

“Germany has never won against Italy in a major tournament, but so what? The situation is entirely different now and this is not an issue for us,” Low said.

“We can’t turn back time, the past doesn’t play a role in our planning.”

Low has a decision to make over whether to recall striker Mario Gomez to his starting line-up, having drafted in Miroslav Klose for the 4-2 quarter-final win over Greece.

Andre Schurrle and Marco Reus also started that game and showed up well, meaning that Thomas Muller and Lukas Podolski face a fight to regain their places.

Bastian Schweinsteiger is expected to shrug off an ankle problem to feature, but Low has ruled out a man-to-man marking job on Azzurri playmaker Andrea Pirlo.

He added: “Pirlo is an outstanding footballer and a brilliant strategist. Man-marking is useless with him because he drops deep so often.”

Germany the favourites for Prandelli

Cesare Prandelli accepts that Germany will be favourites for their Euro 2012 semi-final against Italy in Warsaw on Thursday evening.

Germany the favourites for PrandelliGianluigi Buffon made a crucial shootout save for Italy in Kiev.

The Azzurri needed penalties to defeat England in the quarter-finals after the game ended goalless after extra-time in Kiev, with Italy now 15/8 to see off the Germans to reach the final.

Meanwhile, Joachim Low’s side are 2/5 to send Italy home, with Prandelli admitting that Germany are the fancied team.

He told the Italian media: “Are Germany favourites for the semi-final? Absolutely yes. Germany and Spain are favourites here.

“We are delighted, but we have to get ready for Germany now.

“They have had two more days’ rest, but if we have the same approach, the same desire, I think we can compete. We’ll need everyone fit and fresh; we’re going to go for it.

Are Germany favourites for the semi-final? Absolutely yes.

Cesare Prandelli

“They’re always attacking games against Germany. Germany are a great side – they made changes against Greece and it made no difference.”

Italy’s progress came at the expense of a booking for sub Christian Maggio, who is now ruled out of the Germany showdown, but Claudio Marchisio should recover from severe cramp which prevented him from taking a penalty.

Ankle problem hinders Schweinsteiger

Ankle problem hinders Schweinsteiger

Experienced Germany midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has admitted that he is being troubled by an ankle injury, but has vowed to battle on through the pain.

We hopefully have two more games, I will fight through it.

Bastian Schweinsteiger

The 27-year-old Bayern Munich schemer struggled in the 4-2 quarter-final win over Greece on Friday evening, having confirmed that he was a doubt ahead of the game in Gdansk.

“Honestly, I am worried about my ankle,” Schweinsteiger told Welt am Sonntag. “But the time has not come for me to take it easy. We hopefully have two more games, I will fight through it.

“After that, I will see to it that I finally get healthy again. I have been carrying it since February and it did not heal properly.

“I missed a few easy passes during the game (against Greece), which I never do. Overall I was happy with my performance but a player like me cannot miss these easy passes.”

Germany, who are 15/8 to win Euro 2012 and 2/1 to finish as runners-up, await the winners of England and Italy in the last four, with Mannschaft head coach Joachim Low having plenty of selection options for the game.

Low opted to switch his forward line around totally for the clash with Greece, with Marco Reus, Andre Schurrle and Miroslav Klose stepping in for Lukas Podolski, Thomas Muller and Mario Gomez.

Loew wary of England

Ahead of a possible semi-final clash with England in Euro 2012 if they can overcome Italy, German coach Joachim Loew has admitted he is impressed with Roy Hodgson’s side.

Loew wary of EnglandJoachim Loew is impressed with Roy Hodgson.

If England do progress, England and Germany will meet in a repeat of their second stage World Cup clash in 2010, in which Loew’s men ran out comfortable 4-1 winners. This time however, the German boss believes England will be a completely different proposition if they do play each other again in the semi-final, which he believes can be put down to the influence of Hodgson.

“England are much better under Roy Hodgson than in 2010,” said the 52-year-old.

“They are much better organised, they counter-attack fast.

“Roy in a short time, and he is known for this, has really built a good, compact team and got them ready.

“They are not so open any more, they are not as divided as they were in 2010 and they really play well as a team.

“Roy has managed to organise this team very well and they are tactically better than in 2010.

England are rated as 7/4 to progress to the semi-finals, with Italy 15/8.

Ozil backed to shine

Ozil backed to shine

Sami Khedira is confident that his Real Madrid team-mate Mesut Ozil will be a key man when Germany face Greece in the Euro 2012 quarter-finals.

Both men played vital roles as Joachim Low’s side won all three of their group games to set up a clash against unfancied Greece on Friday, with a spot in the semi-finals in Ukraine and Poland at stake.

We players value him, he works a lot for the team.

Sami Khedira

Germany are 9/4 to win their first tournament since Euro 96, when they beat Czech Republic in the final, while Greece are 18/1 to edge to a shock 1-0 victory on Friday.

Low has hinted that he wants more from midfield schemer Ozil and Khedira thinks his colleague is up to the task.

He said: “Mesut has taken another step in the past one or two years. We players value him, he works a lot for the team. Now he knows how to create space by running.

“His genius moments will come, simply because he has the quality for that to happen.”
