Pompey duo back for England
-
Uncapped Taylor also in squad to face Germany
Steve McClaren has recalled David James and Sol Campbell to the England squad for next Wednesday's friendly against Germany.
The Portsmouth pair have not figured in McClaren's plans since he took charge of the national team at the end of last summer's World Cup.
But they have been rewarded for some fine performances last season with places in McClaren's 28-man squad.
Uncapped Newcastle youngster Steven Taylor has also been selected, along with a number of senior players who had been injury doubts.
Captain John Terry and David Beckham have both been included, as well as Steven Gerrard, although he will not play after fracturing a toe in Toulouse this week.
Michael Owen, Alan Smith, Peter Crouch, Darren Bent, Andy Johnson and Jermain Defoe all have the opportunity to stake a claim for a place up front in next month's Euro 2008 qualifiers.
David Bentley is a notable omission, with McClaren confirming he was left out because of his refusal to play for the Under 21 side this summer.
Squad:
GK: Robinson (Tottenham), James (Portsmouth), Carson (Liverpool, on loan at Aston Villa)
DF: Richards (Manchester City), Brown (Manchester United), Ferdinand (Manchester United), Terry (Chelsea), Ashley Cole (Chelsea), Campbell (Portsmouth), Taylor (Newcastle), Neville (Everton), Shorey (Reading);
MF: Beckham (LA Galaxy), Gerrard (Liverpool), Lampard (Chelsea), Joe Cole (Chelsea), Wright-Phillips (Chelsea), Carrick (Manchester United), Barry (Aston Villa), Downing (Middlesbrough), Dyer (West Ham), Hargreaves (Manchester United);
FW: Smith (Newcastle), Owen (Newcastle), Crouch (Liverpool), Bent (Tottenham), Johnson (Everton), Defoe (Tottenham). -
*Pompey duo hail returns*
Portsmouth pair Sol Campbell and David James insist they never gave up hope of earning England recalls.
The experienced duo, who have not featured for their country since the 2006 World Cup, were handed recalls by Steve McClaren for next week's friendly against Germany.
Former Tottenham and Arsenal star Campbell says he never lost faith that he might earn a recall to the squad.
Faith
"I never let my head go down when I came out of the England squad," Campbell told the club's official website.
"Situations change, and opportunities come along - and one has now.
"It's a good position because they know what I can do, and I know what I can do.
"I didn't think I'd missed my chance when Steve McClaren came to watch against Manchester United at Fratton Park on Wednesday and I was out injured - because I still have the desire, I still have a lot to give for club and country and I've kept working hard on the training ground.
"I will continue to do my best for club and country.
"The inclusion of me and 'Jamo' says a lot about the way Pompey have transformed as a club over the last year or so."
Delighted
Former Liverpool and West Ham goalkeeper James was similarly boosted by the call and confirmed he has never considered quitting international football.
"I'm delighted to get back in the frame," said James.
"I had to be optimistic about a recall, because my form has been good and my enthusiasm for the game is still there.
"I've been happy with my form - and if I was happy there's no way I was going to retire from international football.
"It's the next step on the ladder for me. I'm delighted to be in the squad and will now try to get in the team."
