ENGLAND SQUAD ANNOUNCED FOR SLOVENIA & SCOTLAND MATCHES

Saido Berahino gets his first call-up and Stewart Downing's impressive West Ham form sees him return after a long absence.
A fully fit Luke Shaw comes in from the cold (under-21s) and Southampton's Nathaniel Clyne keeps his place. Hodgson says Glen Johnson can do one for now (or words to that effect). Excellent news.
No Sturridge on account of him still not being fit but Theo Walcott is included after a long lay-off.
And somehow, Andros Townsend gets the nod. Again.
The squad in full:
Fraser Forster, Ben Foster, Joe Hart
Leighton Baines, Gary Cahill, Calum Chambers, Nathaniel Clyne, Kieran Gibbs, Phil Jagielka, Luke Shaw, Chris Smalling
Ross Barkley, Michael Carrick, Stewart Downing, Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Raheem Sterling, Andros Townsend, Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott
Rickie Lambert, Wayne Rooney, Daniel Welbeck, Saido Berahino
What you reckon? On current form i'd have picked Harry Kane over Lambert, and i'd like to think Ryan Bertrand at least ran Luke Shaw close. Nice to see Carrick back though.
