Sinclair, Blues team-mate Ryan Bertrand - who is currently on loan at Oldham - and Andy Carroll, a Newcastle player presently on a short stint at Preston, have all returned to their clubs after being ordered out on England's training base in Leeds.

Broke curfew: Scott Sinclair (left)

While the Football Association are anxious to stress the trio's misdemeanour did not go beyond breaking Eastick's curfew, the breach of conduct was enough to see them sent home ahead of this afternoon's encounter with Romania in Scunthorpe, when victory will see England in the elite European Championship qualifying stage.

"I have found it necessary to send three players home for breaking our code of conduct," said Eastick.

"All the appropriate people have been informed and there will be no further comment at this time."

Sinclair scored his first senior goal for Chelsea in last month's Carling Cup win over Hull and is seen as a bright prospect for the future, while Bertrand and Carroll have both been first-team regulars for their new clubs this term. Sinclair and Carroll were on target in Friday's 5-1 win over Iceland.
