Only a couple of days after flying back home with news of Keiron Dyer's inclusion, Sinclair received the call once more, and will take the place of the Danny Murphy, the latest England player to receive an injury.

The Liverpool man has suffered a similar injury to those of David Beckham and Gary Neville, breaking the second toe of his left foot. The unfortunate Murphy is now due to fly home and attempt to get fit for the start of the new domestic season.

Blackburn's David Dunn and Alan Smith of Leeds have now been put on the standby list, just in case there are further casualties amongst our squad of crocks.

There has been positive news however, with both Robbie Fowler and Nicky Butt showing signs of a return to full fitness after taking part in the latest England training session.
