Sven-Goran Eriksson has named his England squad for the USA Tour matches against the USA and Colombia.


Peter Crouch has earned his first ever call-up to an England squad after having enjoyed a successful season at Southampton.

The 24-year-old striker has previously won six England Under-21 caps and has scored 12 goals in the Premiership this term.

There is also a return to an England squad for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Michael Carrick.

The former West Ham man last played in the August 2001 friendly against Holland having made his debut against Mexico three months earlier.

Captain David Beckham, his Real Madrid teammate Michael Owen and Bayern Munich's Owen Hargreaves will all miss the first match against the USA but will join up with the squad for the second match against Colombia.
