Town loan keeper David Stockdale has been named in the England squad for the Euro 2012 qualifiers against Bulgaria in Sofia on Friday and with Wales at Wembley the following Tuesday. Stockdale, who is with the Blues from Fulham for the season, is yet to win a cap with this his fourth senior call-up.

England goalkeeping-coach Ray Clemence was at Town’s 2-1 victory over Leeds on Saturday to run the rule over Stockdale, having watched the Bristol City match on the opening day of the season.

Former Blue Darren Bent is also named in Fabio Capello's squad.

England: Joe Hart, Robert Green, David Stockdale, Ashley Cole, Gary Cahill, John Terry, Leighton Baines, Phil Jagielka, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Micah Richards, Joleon Lescott, Stewart Downing, Gareth Barry, Adam Johnson, James Milner, Frank Lampard, Tom Cleverley, Ashley Young, Scott Parker, Theo Walcott, Darren Bent, Andy Carroll, Wayne Rooney, Jermain Defoe.

hollywoodginge added 13:18 - Aug 29 Crock - I disagree to an extent, watching Utd this season and how good Smalling, jones,Cleverley and young not to mention Rooney have been fills me with optimism, it will take a bit of time but there is lots of raw talent there, they need patience and persiverence and hopefully now it will be the end for some of the underachieving old gaurd. I think Andy Carroll will be huge, I thought the good old fashioned English centre forward was extinct but he is immense and downing looks a different player at the mo. I was concerned where the new crop were coming from but thankfully under the wing of Sir Alex and King Kenny I think these boys will be turned into men.
