Fabio Capello has named the squad that are to face Holland on Wednesday, but had to make a late change to the team.

Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster was set to return from injury to join Robert Green and Paul Robinson in forming Capello's three options in goal, however Joe Hart had been called up to replace Foster who has been forced to return home following an injury he picked up during sunday's FA community sheild against Chelsea.

England will be looking to continue their excellent form from June that saw two wins, ten goals scored and none conceded. Frank Lampard took his scoring tally to three goals in four for England, while Wayne Rooney scored his ninth and tenth goals under Fabio Capello in the 6-0 win over Andorra.

The team named by Fabio Capello is as follows:

Joe Hart (Birmingham City), Robert Green (West Ham United), Paul Robinson (Blackburn Rovers)

Wayne Bridge (Manchester City), Ashley Cole (Chelsea), Rio Ferdinand (Manchester United), Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Joleon Lescott (Everton), John Terry (Chelsea), Matthew Upson (West Ham United)

Gareth Barry (Manchester City), David Beckham (LA Galaxy), Michael Carrick (Manchester United), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), James Milner (Aston Villa), Theo Walcott (Arsenal), Shaun Wright-Phillips (Manchester City), Ashley Young (Aston Villa)

Carlton Cole (West Ham United), Jermain Defoe (Tottenham Hotspur), Emile Heskey (Aston Villa), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United)
