England announced their world cup squad for South Africa today as the squad was cut from 30 players to 23 players.

The one major surprise was that Arsenal player Theo Wallcott missed out despite playing in the world cup warm up matches.

Prolific goalscorer Darren Bent was also left out in favour of Emile Heskey who is seen more of a team player despite his lack of goals.

Gareth Barry passed a late fitness test but it’s still unclear how fit he will be for the opening game.

The Full England Squad below

Goalkeepers: Joe Hart (Manchester City), David James (Portsmouth), Robert Green (West Ham). Defenders: Jamie Carragher (Liverpool), Ashley Cole (Chelsea), Rio Ferdinand (Manchester United), Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Ledley King (Tottenham), John Terry (Chelsea), Matthew Upson (West Ham), Stephen Warnock (Aston Villa). Midfielders: Gareth Barry (Manchester City), Michael Carrick (Manchester United), Joe Cole (Chelsea), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), Aaron Lennon (Tottenham), James Milner (Aston Villa), Shaun Wright-Phillips (Manchester City). Forwards: Peter Crouch (Tottenham), Jermain Defoe (Tottenham), Emile Heskey (Aston Villa), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United).
