England coach Sven Goran Eriksson has announced his squad to face Argentina in a game which will strangely enough be played in Geneva, Switzerland. The Swede coach did not go ahead with his expected call-up of Jonathan Woodgate, as the later suffered an injury again on today's Real Madrid game against Real Zaragoza.

Woodgate was substituted just 23 minutes into the game possibly due to a hamstring injury, which is very unfortunate after his 17 month absence from action.

Chelsea's Wayne Bridge call-up came as a surprise, he has only played for 60 minutes this season after an 8-month injury absense.

"Wayne Bridge played in the Carling Cup for Chelsea so I want to see him. It is important for him to come back into international football because he is the second best left-back in the country behind Ashley Cole" Eriksson told reporters.

England Squad:

Goalkeepers:

Robinson (Tottenham), Green (Norwich), James (Man City)

Defenders:

Neville (Everton), Young (Charlton), Bridge (Chelsea), Konchesky (West Ham), Ferdinand (Man Utd), Terry (Chelsea), Campbell (Arsenal), King (Tottenham)

Midfielders

Beckham (Real Madrid), Gerrard (Liverpool), Lampard (Chelsea), J Cole (Chelsea), Wright-Phillips (Chelsea), Jenas (Tottenham), Smith (Man Utd), Carrick (Tottenham)

Strikers:

Owen (Newcastle), Rooney (Man Utd), Defoe (Tottenham), Crouch (Liverpool)
