England Head Coach Steve McClaren has named a 26 man squad for the forthcoming matches with Brazil and Estonia.

McClaren has recalled Real Madrid midfielder David Beckham while Michael Owen has also been included in a senior squad for the first time since the World Cup.

David Bentley and Nicky Shorey, of Blackburn Rovers and Reading respectively, have been named for the first time after eye-catching displays in Friday's 'B' international victory over Albania.

Chelsea's Joe Cole, whose season has been blighted by injury, will join up with the squad after a long period away from the international scene.

England will play Brazil at Wembley Stadium - the Three Lions first visit to the new stadium - before travelling to Estonia for a Euro 2008 Qualifier on 6 June.
