Still no place in the England squad for Owen

Michael Owen may have secured the iconic Manchester United number seven shirt, but he has still not convinced Fabio Capello that he has a future with England.

The squad for Wednesday's friendly against does not feature either Owen, who could feature in today's Community Shield match between United and Chelsea, or veteran keeper David James, who recently underwent shoulder surgery.

England squad: Foster (Manchester United), Green (West Ham), Robinson (Blackburn); Bridge (Manchester City), A Cole (Chelsea), Ferdinand (Manchester United), Johnson (Liverpool), Lescott (Everton), Terry (Chelsea), Upson (West Ham); Barry (Manchester City), Beckham (Los Angeles Galaxy), Carrick (Manchester United), Gerrard (Liverpool), Lampard (Chelsea), Milner (Aston Villa), Walcott (Arsenal), Wright-Phillips (Manchester City), Young (Aston Villa); Cole (West Ham), Heskey (Aston Villa), Rooney (Manchester United), Defoe (Tottenham).

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING:Rob Draper, Mail on Sunday: "Fabio Capello has snubbed Michael Owen yet again leaving him out of his latest England squad in a clear sign that the Manchester United striker has a long struggle to convince the Italian he is worthy of a World Cup place next summer."

Paul Kelso, Sunday Telegraph: "England manager Fabio Capello has acknowledged disquiet over Wednesday's match in Amsterdam, agreeing that the timing of the game, three days before the Premier League season begins, is not ideal."

Steve Tongue, Independent on Sunday: "Another season, another international, but two familiar old names still dominate the England manager's press briefing, much as they have done for the past decade and more. David Beckham, his patriotic enthusiasm undiminished by becoming a globetrotting millionaire, is expecting to play a part in Wednesday's game against Holland; Michael Owen, another former Real Madrid galactico, cannot be half as optimistic." ·
