Fabio Capello stuck with the old-guard as he trimmed his squad for Wednesday's friendly against Switzerland.
The Italian on Saturday finalized a 23-man squad for his first match as England coach after dropping fringe players Curtis Davies, Nicky Shorey, Michael Carrick, Stewart Downing and Glen Johnson from his provisional 30-man group.
Wigan Athletic striker Emile Heskey was ruled out after suffering an injury during his team's win over West Ham on Saturday, while Tottenham Hotspur defender Ledley King is also sidelined through injury.
Those changes left a familiar looking group, with the only fresh face Aston Villa's young striker Gabriel Agbonlahor.
Capello insisted the players who did not make the cut would still be considered in future, giving David Beckham, who did not even make the provisional squad, hope that he could still win his 100th cap.
"I want to be clear that the players who have not made the squad this time are still part of my plans," Capello told the FA's Web site. "We will be monitoring the form of everyone very closely as we work towards the competitive matches which start in September. It is of course a blow to lose Ledley King from the squad. He is a very good player who has impressed me a lot when I have seen him play."

TAIWANESE EXITS: Fellow Australian Christopher O’Connell joined Tristan Schoolkate as a winner following his 6-1, 6-2 defeat of Tseng Hsin-chun Australian qualifier Tristan Schoolkate on Monday dispatched rising Brazilian talent Joao Fonseca 7-6 (7/5), 6-4 at the ATP Toronto Masters, ensuring a breakthrough into the world top 100.

The qualifier played a quarter-final this month in Los Cabos and won through qualifying for his
Top seeds Alexander Zverev of Germany and American Coco Gauff on Tuesday advanced to the third round of the Canadian Open after both players were pushed hard by their opponents. World No. 3 Zverev, playing in his first match since his first-round loss at Wimbledon, was far from his best, but emerged with a 7-6 (8/6), 6-4 win over Adam Walton under the lights in Toronto. Momentum shifted firmly in Zverev’s favor when he won a 52-shot rally in the first set tiebreak and he sealed the win on a double fault by the Australian in the second set. “It was a very
Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen on Thursday said that he is staying with the Red Bull team next year, ending months of speculation over his future. “Some people just like to stir the pot, some people just like to create drama, but, for me, it’s always been quite clear, and also for next year,” the four-time champion said ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix. “I’m discussing with the team already the plans — the things that we want to change for next year, so that means that I’m also staying with the team for next year,” he said. Verstappen has a contract with
Alex Michelsen on Thursday rallied for a 3-6, 7-6 (7/4), 6-4 upset victory over third-seeded Lorenzo Musetti in the men’s singles, converting his seventh match point to reach the fourth round of the Canadian Open. Michelsen reached the last 16 of a Masters 1000 for the first time with his second win over a top-10 player in eight attempts. The 20-year-old American survived nearly 50 unforced errors and converted just two of nine break chances, but it was enough to vanquish Italy’s Musetti, a two-time Grand Slam semi-finalist ranked 10th in the world. “It feels really good,” the 26th-ranked Michelsen said. “I’ve put
