Fabio Capello has named his squad for the final two World Cup qualifiers away to Ukraine and at Wembley against Belarus four days later.

David James returns after injury to be part of his first squad since April, while Aston Villa forward Gabriel Agbonlahor also returns in place of Jermain Defoe who misses out through an injury to his hand.

The squad comes too soon for Theo Walcott and Joe Cole who are in the process of returning from injury, but the remainder of the group is the same squad that overcame Croatia to book England's place at the World Cup last month.
