England squad for World Cup qualifiers

Roy Hodgson has named the Chelsea pair Daniel Sturridge and Ryan Bertrand in his England squad for next month's World Cup qualifiers with Moldova and Ukraine.

The pair were both involved in the friendly win over Italy in Berne, and, with Wayne Rooney ruled out by a thigh injury, Sturridge has kept his place. Bertrand provides cover in both left-back and left-sided midfield roles.

John Terry, meanwhile, is also included despite missing Chelsea's win over Newcastle United with a neck injury.

Jack Butland and John Ruddy are named as back-up keepers to first-choice Joe Hart, meaning Rob Green has lost his place as understudy from Euro 2012.

Kyle Walker, who missed out on the European Championship finals with a broken toe, has been named at right-back along with Liverpool's Glen Johnson. Arsenal's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is also included.

The one surprising omission is that of the Manchester United winger Ashley Young, who was at the Euros and who also started against Italy.

England head to Moldova for the first game on Friday 7 September, before returning for the match with Ukraine on Tuesday 11 September.
