England's World Cup 2006 preliminary squad

A 23-man preliminary squad has been named for England's forthcoming Football World Cup 2006 campaign. Initially the exclusion of some well regarded players caused some shock to the public and their club managers. Even Sven himself has described it as a gamble, but only time will prove their replacements heroes or villains.

The preliminary squad is as follows:

Goalkeepers Paul Robinson (Tottenham Hotspurs) David James (Man City) Robert Green (Norwich City FC)

Defenders Gary Neville (Man Utd) Ashley Cole (Arsenal FC) Wayne Bridge (Chelsea FC, on loan at Fulham FC) John Terry (Chelsea FC) Rio Ferdinand (Man Utd) Sol Campbell (Arsenal FC) Jamie Carragher (Liverpool FC)

Midfielders David Beckham (Real Madrid) Aaron Lennon (Tottenham Hotspurs) Joe Cole (Chelsea FC) Stewart Downing (Middlesbrough FC) Frank Lampard (Chelsea FC) Steven Gerrard (Liverpool FC) Jermaine Jenas (Tottenham Hotspurs) Owen Hargreaves (Bayern Munich)

Forwards Wayne Rooney (Man Utd) Michael Owen (Newcastle United FC) Peter Crouch (Liverpool FC) Theo Walcott (Arsenal FC)

Players on stand-by Scott Carson, Goalkeeper (Liverpool FC) Luke Young, Defender (Charlton Athletic) Nigel Reo-Coker, Midfielder (West Ham) Jermain Defoe, Forward (Tottenham Hotspurs) Andrew Johnson, Forward (Crystal Palace)
