Chelsea's Ashley Cole is set to win his 100th international cap
after being named in England manager Roy Hodgson's squad to face Brazil
on 6 February.
Left-back Cole, who made his England debut against Albania on 28 March 2001, has been named in a 24-man squad.
Fellow Chelsea team mate Frank Lampard has been picked, as has Jack Wilshere, Michael Carrick, Tom Cleverley, Leon Osman and skipper Steven Gerrard.
The most notable exclusion was Tottenham's Scott Parker.
England's 100-cap club
- Peter Shilton (125),
- David Beckham (115),
- Bobby Moore (108),
- Bobby Charlton (106)
- Billy Wright (105)
- Steven Gerrard (100)
Parker is now fit again after
returning from Euro 2012 with an Achilles injury, but Hodgson has deemed
he is not yet ready to return to the International set up.
As expected youngsters Raheem Sterling, Jonjo Shelvey
and Wilfried Zaha are all excluded and instead named in the Under-21
squad to face Sweden on 5 February, while Hodgson has taken the unusual
step of naming only two goalkeepers - Joe Hart and sought-after
Birmingham youngster Jack Butland.
Manchester United defender Chris Smalling is called up for the first time during Hodgson's tenure after recovering from injury, but his team mate Phil Jones is omitted from the senior squad and named in Stuart Pearce's Under-21 set up.
Jermain Defoe has also been included despite his current pelvic problem, joining Manchester United duo Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck, plus Liverpool new-boy Daniel Sturridge, in attack.
Cole would become only the seventh player to have reached 100 caps for England, joining Gerrard, Billy Wright, Bobby Charlton, Bobby Moore, David Beckham and Peter Shilton.
