England will play host to Ghana in an international friendly at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday.
England manager Fabio Capello will field a much changed lineup from the weekend’s Euro 2012 Qualifying victory over Wales. Captain John Terry, Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole and Wayne Rooney have all been sent back to their clubs and will play no part on Tuesday. Aaron Lennon and Michael Dawson have also been released from the England camp and have returned to Tottenham Hotspur.
Capello told BBC Sport this weekend he will make “about seven changes” for the clash with World Cup Quarter-Finalists Ghana. Joe Hart will play in goal and Liverpool striker Andy Carroll is set to lead the Three Lions attack. Gary Cahill, Phil Jagielka and Leighton Baines are all expected play in defense for England.
Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry will captain England, while West Ham United’s Scott Parker will also play if he is passed fit.
Ghana will field a number of players who will be familiar faces to home fans at Wembley Stadium. Goalkeeper Richard Kingson plays in the English Premier League for Blackpool, while Sulley Muntari and Asamoah Gyan both play for Sunderland.
