Fabio Capello has confirmed his provisional squad for the World Cup, with 30 players making up the list of those who will travel to Austria in six days time to begin the training preparation for the tournament.
Jamie Carragher is called into the squad for the first time under Fabio Capello, while Tottenham Hotspur defender Michael Dawson and Manchester City winger Adam Johnson are the only uncapped players named.
Joe Cole returns to the fold for the first time since England's 4-1 victory in Zagreb in 2008, joining his Chelsea colleagues John Terry, Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole who secured the Premier League title on Sunday and compete in The FA Cup Final against Portsmouth this Saturday.
They could face Pompey goalkeeper David James at Wembley, one of three goalkeepers in the provisional squad along with Joe Hart and Rob Green.
