Sven Goran Eriksson has picked his 24-man squad to face Croatia at Portman Road this Wednesday. David Beckham returns to England for the first time since his £25million move to Real Madrid. Sven has decided to not pick 17 year old Wayne Rooney after Everton Manager said Wayne is not "Match Fit" after playing a short period in Everons 2-1 defeat to Arsenal.

Here is the 24 man squad in full:

Goalkeepers: David James, Paul Robinson, Chris Kirkland

Defenders: Danny Mills, Wayne Bridge, Rio Ferdinand, John Terry, Phil Neville, Sol Campbell, Jonathan Woodgate, Ashley Cole

Midfielders: Nicky Butt, David Beckham (captain), Paul Scholes, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Owen Hargreaves, Joe Cole, Trevor Sinclair, Kieron Dyer, Danny Murphy

Forwards: James Beattie, Emile Heskey, Michael Owen
