Sven-Goran Eriksson has submitted his 23-man England squad to FIFA
for the World Cup finals.

It is a list of the same names Eriksson unveiled last week, with the
first 11 numbers going to what is recognised as his first-choice
team. This includes Wayne Rooney, who will wear the number nine shirt
even though he is currently out with a broken foot and battling to be
fit for the tournament.

Eriksson can still replace injured players up to 24 hours before
England's first Group B game against Paraguay, in Frankfurt, on June
10.

Surprise selection Theo Walcott has been handed the number 23 shirt.

Walcott, who is only 17 and yet to play a Premiership game, joined
his new international team-mates for the first time on Monday.

Eriksson and his players met to fly from Luton Airport to Portugal
where they will spend five days at a training camp. There were five
players missing from the party.

Arsenal duo Sol Campbell and Ashley Cole have stayed with the Gunners
because of the Champions League final against Barcelona on Wednesday.

Walcott has been left out of the Arsenal squad by boss Arsene Wenger,
who reached an agreement with Eriksson.

Wenger decided the teenager was unlikely to play in the Stade de
France because strikers Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Jose Reyes
and Robin van Persie were all ahead of him in the pecking order.
