Capello names England squad for Switzerland qualifier

Fabio Capello has named his squad for next month's Euro2012 qualifier with Switzerland. The Italian tactician has announced a 26-man squad for the Wembley Stadium fixture with the Swiss on June 4, recalling Fulham's Bobby Zamora who comes in as Capello prepares for the match without the injured Andy Carroll and suspended Wayne Rooney.

A relatively inexperienced goalkeeping trio have been selected with Manchester City's Joe Hart leading the line ahead of West Bromwich Albion's Scott Carson and Fulham's David Stockdale but the likely return of Rio Ferdinand to join John Terry in defence will help in the back half.
