Carrick returns as Terry's left out of England squad

Roy Hodgson has made wholesale changes to his England squad for next week’s friendly with Italy – with John Terry among the senior players left out and Michael Carrick returning to the fold.

The Manchester United midfielder told the Football Association he did not want to be selected for Euro 2012.

However, he has now made himself available and comes into a squad that sees Tottenham duo Steven Caulker and Jake Livermore selected for the first time, in addition to Chelsea’s Ryan Bertrand.

England captain Steven Gerrard, plus established regulars Wayne Rooney and Ashley Cole, were left out of the squad for Wednesday’s match in Berne but Frank Lampard – who missed Euro 2012 through injury – has been included.

Hodgson has retained just three players who started the Euro 2012 quarter-final defeat to Italy in Kiev; Manchester City duo Joe Hart and James Milner, plus Ashley Young, who missed in the shoot-out defeat.

Other than Hart, Lampard looks the most likely skipper.

Goalkeepers John Ruddy and Jack Butland are the other uncapped members of Hodgson’s squad, in addition to Tom Cleverley, who would have made his debut 12 months ago had the friendly with Holland not been postponed due to the London riots.
