Rooney out of England squad for two friendlies

 　　LONDON, Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- Manager Fabio Capello named England squad¹ on Sunday to face Spain and Sweden without selecting Wayne Rooney.

　　England will play world champions Spain on Saturday and Sweden on 15th, November at Wembley. Capello named a 25-man squad, giving first calls to Everton midfielder Jack² Rodwell and Chelsea Sturridge Daniel Sturridge.

　　Manchester United striker Rooney is not on the list while facing a three-match ban from UEFA after being sent off against Montenegro last month.

　　Although FA has appealed the ban but if it is upheld³, Rooney will miss the Euro 2012 group matches.

　　"I spoke⁴ to him and told him he would not be selected for this game and he understood this," Capello has told FAtv on Saturday. "I want to see some players who can play in the Rooney position. I want to know the value of some players because Saturday's game against Spain will be really important."

　　Following is the squad:

　　Goalkeepers

　　Scott Carson (Bursapor), Joe Hart (Manchester City), David Stockdale (Ipswich Town - loan from Fulham)

　　Defenders

　　Leighton Baines (Everton), Gary Cahill (Bolton Wanderers), Ashley Cole (Chelsea), Phil Jagielka (Everton), Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Phil Jones (Manchester United), Joleon Lescott (Manchester City), John Terry (Chelsea), Kyle Walker (Tottenham Hotspur)

　　Midfielders

　　Gareth Barry (Manchester City), Stewart Downing (Liverpool), Adam Johnson (Manchester City), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), James Milner (Manchester City), Scott Parker (Tottenham Hotspur), Jack Rodwell (Everton), Theo Walcott (Arsenal)

　　Forwards Gabby Agbonlahor (Aston Villa), Darren Bent (Aston Villa), Daniel Sturridge (Chelsea), Danny Welbeck (Manchester United), Bobby Zamora (Fulham)
