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."

Japan’s Shohei Ohtani is the record-breaking baseball “superhuman” following in the footsteps of the legendary Babe Ruth who has also earned comparisons to US sporting greats Michael Jordan and Tom Brady. Not since Ruth a century ago has there been a baseball player capable of both pitching and hitting at the top level. The 30-year-old’s performances with the Los Angeles Dodgers have consolidated his position as a baseball legend in the making, and a national icon in his native Japan. He continues to find new ways to amaze, this year becoming the first player to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases
Zhang Shuai yesterday said that she nearly quit after losing 24 matches in a row — now the world No. 595 is into the quarter-finals of her home China Open. The 35-year-old is to face Spain’s Paula Badosa as the lowest-ranked player to reach this stage in the history of the tournament after Badosa reeled off 11 of the last 12 games in a 6-4, 6-0 victory over US Open finalist Jessica Pegula. Zhang went into Beijing on a barren run lasting more than 600 days and her string of singles defeats was the second-longest on the WTA Tour Open era, which

The win leaves the Pramac Racing rider 21 points ahead of his Italian Ducati rival, who finished third behind Spaniard Pedro Acosta in sweltering conditions at the Mandalika International Street Circuit on Lombok island. In front of a crowd of 60,000 in motorbike-mad Indonesia, the 26-year-old put his tumble in Saturday’s sprint behind him, canceling out the gains his title rival Bagnaia made after securing victory in that race. “Thank you Indonesia. I am very happy.
