Lampard left out for England

Frank Lampard was left out of a competitive England starting line-up for the first time since 2007 as Fabio Capello adopted a bold approach for this evening’s Euro 2012 qualifier in Bulgaria.

Taken off at half-time in June, when England fell behind against Switzerland, Lampard found himself surplus to requirements at the Vasil Levski Stadium as Capello paired Gareth Barry with Tottenham new-boy Scott Parker in central midfield.
