LONDON - Wolverhampton Wanderers winger
Matt Jarvis was the surprise name on Sunday in England coach
Fabio Capello's squad for next week's Euro 2012 qualifier in
Wales.
The diminutive 24-year-old earned his opportunity as Theo
Walcott and Adam Johnson are injured and he will battle with
Aaron Lennon and Ashley Young for wide roles against the Welsh
and in the following week's Wembley friendly against Ghana.
GEAR: Up to 30% off England home kits through Kitbag. Free delivery on orders over £50
Should Jarvis win his first cap, he would be the first
Wolves player to represent England since striker Steve Bull 21
years ago.
Everton centre-back Phil Jagielka and Liverpool striker Andy
Carroll were recalled having missed last month's friendly in
Denmark through injury.
Montenegro top the Group G standings with 10 points from
four games. England are second on seven from three with Wales
bottom having lost all three matches.
