England Head Coach Steve McClaren has called Middlesbrough defender Luke Young into the squad for the trip to Russia, with Chelsea's Ashley Cole definitely out due to injury.

Cole suffered an ankle injury in England's 3-0 victory over Estonia at Wembley on Saturday, unfortunately he will not recover in time for the visit to Moscow and Luke Young has been added to the defensive ranks for the game.

Luke Young, 28, has won seven caps for his country, winning six of those games, and last played for the Three Lions in their 3-2 friendly triumph over Argentina in Geneva in November 2005.

This season Young has played eight games under Gareth Southgate and will bolster England's squad as they travel to Moscow knowing that victory would guarantee qualification for Euro 2008.
