Davies called up to England squad
LONDON - Bolton forward Kevin Davies is the surprise inclusion in Fabio Capello's squad to face Montenegro on October 12.
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.
Meanwhile, goalkeeper Robert Green has been recalled to the England squad for the first time following his howler in the World Cup finals.
Captain Rio Ferdinand and former skipper John Terry are also recalled after injuries while Wayne Rooney is included as expected, despite his recent loss of form for Manchester United.
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.
