World Cup News :: England Team News for World Cup Qualifier against Ukraine

Posted on 2009-03-31 by Gooner

Peter Crouch will lead England's attack in Wednesday's key World Cup qualifier against Ukraine at Wembley.

The Italian said: "I am sure that Crouch is the best forward I can put into the first XI."

Crouch has recovered from the dead leg he suffered in Saturday's 4-0 victory over Slovakia, while Rio Ferdinand is fit to partner John Terry in defence.

Ferdinand could have played against Slovakia but Capello decided not to risk the Manchester United man, while Shaun Wright-Phillips is also available after a minor ankle knock.

Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard are likely to play behind the lone striker in an injury-enforced reshuffle.

England coach Fabio Capello called up Aston Villa's Gabriel Agbonlahor on Tuesday after Tottenham forward Darren Bent injured a knee in training.
