Rooney on bench, Carragher replaces Neville

Jamie Carragher will replace the injured Gary Neville in England’s starting line-up for today’s Group B clash with Trinidad and Tobago in Nuremberg.

Neville missed out with a calf strain and, as expected, England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson turned to versatile Liverpool defender Carragher.

Wayne Rooney, passed fit earlier this afternoon by independent medical advisors, will be among the England substitutes.
