Duo set for England recalls

20 January 2008
David Beckham and Theo Walcott both missed out on Capello's squad for his first match in charge but the England manager is close to choosing them for his second.
The difficulty for Capello will be who to leave out in their place and it is understood the Italian will wait until Thursday morning - after the Manchester United v Bolton and Tottenham v Chelsea matches - to ensure there are no withdrawals due to injury.
Chelsea pair Frank Lampard and John Terry are certain to return to the England squad of 30, and there are spaces to fill among the defenders with Curtis Davies, Matthew Upson and Micah Richards - named in Capello's first squad in January - all missing due to injuries.
If Lampard and Beckham are to come in, then Stewart Downing and Michael Carrick could find their places in jeopardy, with Walcott possibly replacing Emile Heskey in attack.
Peter Crouch cannot be sitting comfortably either given that the Liverpool striker has played so few minutes for his club recently.
