England's Joe Hart and Daniel Sturridge pull out of Italy friendly

Joe Hart




Joe Hart and Daniel Sturridge have pulled out of England's squad for Wednesday's friendly against Italy.
 Keeper Hart has a back injury which forced him to miss City's 3-2 Community Shield win over Chelsea.

Chelsea striker Sturridge came on as a substitute in that game at Villa Park, but has a toe injury.
England boss Roy Hodgson has not called up any replacements, which means goalkeepers Jack Butland or John Ruddy will make their England debut.
Butland was Great Britain's 'keeper at London 2012, while Ruddy was picked for Euro 2012 but had to withdraw after suffering a broken finger.

Here is the Squad;  
Goalkeepers: Jack Butland (Birmingham City), John Ruddy (Norwich City).
Defenders: Leighton Baines (Everton), Ryan Bertrand (Chelsea), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Steven Caulker (Tottenham Hotspur), Phil Jagielka (Everton), Kyle Walker (Tottenham Hotspur).
Midfielders: Michael Carrick (Manchester United), Tom Cleverley (Manchester United), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), Adam Johnson (Manchester City), Jake Livermore (Tottenham Hotspur), James Milner (Manchester City), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal), Jack Rodwell (Manchester City), Ashley Young (Manchester United).
Forwards: Andy Carroll (Liverpool), Jermain Defoe (Tottenham Hotspur), Theo Walcott (Arsenal).
