England boss Fabio Capello intends to include LA Galaxy midfielder David Beckham and Tottenham's Peter Crouch in his squad.

The Sun says Capello considers both to be in his final 23, despite being fringe figures in qualifying.

Beckham, 34, was named man of the match in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Belarus, even though he made only a half-hour appearance as sub.

But the LA Galaxy midfielder will be delighted his transatlantic travels have paid off - and a second loan spell at AC Milan will now end with a FOURTH appearance at the finals.

Crouch, 28, netted twice against Belarus to take his international tally to 18 goals in 35 matches.

Capello refused to be drawn on the Spurs striker after the Group Six victory. But, yesterday, he booked him in along with Wayne Rooney and Emile Heskey.
