Rio Ferdinand and Frank Lampard have been left out of the England squad for the forthcoming friendly against Holland. Tom Cleverly, Frazier Campbell and Micah Richards have all been included which is a surprise to many. Out with the old and in with the new.
The current England caretaker manager and England Under-21 manager has made some bold changes, leaving out vice captain Ferdinand and loyal servant Lampard for those to be replaced with inexperienced youth. Players such as Daniel Sturridge, Adam Johnson, Danny Welbeck and Phil Jones have also been included in the twenty five man squad. Pearce has included the younger players he is familiar with, working with them in the Under-21 squad and has implemented the changes we've been crying out for since our failure in South Africa. With the inclusion of these confident, younger players hopefully we can see more spark in the England performance against Holland with each of them eager to impress. However, where is Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain?
