Liverpool's uncapped midfielder Jonjo Shelvey and Chelsea's
left-sided player Ryan Bertrand have been added to the England squad for
the World Cup qualifiers with San Marino and Poland.
The English FA said in a statement that left back Kieran Gibbs had been
ruled out of the squad with injury, prompting Bertrand's callup
following two previous caps.
Regular left back Ashley Cole, charged with misconduct by the FA on
Monday for a foul-mouthed Twitter comment about the organisation, joined
up with the squad as normal ahead of the San Marino game at Wembley on
Friday and the October 16 trip to Poland.
England coach Roy Hodgson raised eyebrows when calling up uncapped duo
Raheem Sterling of Liverpool and Adam Lallana of Southampton for last
month's Group H qualifier against Ukraine and Shelvey's addition this
time is another surprise.
