Davies called up to England squad

Davies, 33, is a former England youth and under-21 international but has never featured for the senior squad.

He made his professional debut for Chesterfield 17 years ago and has been in good form for Bolton this season, although he has only scored twice.

Joe Cole is also back in the squad despite his new club Liverpool's poor start to the season.

There are also recalls for Tottenham Hotspur duo Tom Huddlestone and Aaron Lennon while Arsenal's teenage midfielder Jack Wilshere is restored after making his debut against Hungary in August before playing for the Under-21 side again.

Green let in a soft goal from Clint Dempsey when England drew 1-1 with the United States at the World Cup and has not played for Capello's team since then.

Manchester City's Joe Hart has since been installed as Capello's first choice goalkeeper, but Green's inclusion comes after a recent run of good games for West Ham.

He was injured in England's first training session in South Africa and missed the entire tournament.

Terry has missed England's last two matches against Bulgaria and Switzerland, but his Chelsea team mate Frank Lampard is not yet fit enough following a hernia operation.
