Woodgate and Bowyer had not previously been considered for selection following their involvement in a court case that followed an attack on a student in Leeds city centre. Woodgate was sentenced to 100 hours of community service after being found guilty of affray.

Central defender Woodgate has one previous full cap. Bowyer has not played for the England senior team.

Leeds United goalkeeper Paul Robinson was included for the first time by coach Sven-Goran Eriksson but 38-year-old goalkeeper David Seaman was omitted for England's first game since their World Cup quarter-final exit.

Also included by Eriksson in his squad were Leeds striker Alan Smith and Liverpool midfielders Steven Gerrard and Danny Murphy, who both missed the World Cup due to injury.
