England to Feature Gabriel Agbonlahor and Peter Crouch for the Belarus Game

England manager Fabio Capello has said that he would play Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor and Tottenham Hotspur forward Peter Crouch in the last word cup qualifying match against Belarus on Wednesday.



Well, England has already ensured their world cup berth, but after losing to Ukraine last Saturday, England is now desperate to end their word cup qualifying campaign on winning note. However, it is pretty much expected that Capello would give a chance to his bench players, resting his regular players for the game, knowing that the result of the match would not being any change to their standing in the point table.



Wayne Rooney is injured, while Emile Heskey is suffering from match fitness. Their injury and fitness woe have made the task easier for Capello as he is now determined to feature Agbonlahor and Crouch in their attacking line up. James Milner looks to start the game as Liverpool star Steven Gerrard is also out injured.



Goalkeeper will go through a fitness test at the eleventh hour as he has to prove his fitness level before getting a nod from the coach. Ben Foster would be the back up for James.
