Fabio Capello has kept faith with Arsenal youngster Theo Walcott for tonight's World Cup qualifier against Croatia.
The 19-year-old was a bright spark in Saturday's 2-0 win over Andorra and is preferred on the right to David Beckham.
England make four changes from the side who won in Barcelona. Rio Ferdinand is fit to start, Wes Brown replaces Glenn Johnson, goal scorer Joe Cole is on the left instead of the disappointing Stewart Downing and Emile Heskey takes over from Jermain Defoe as Wayne Rooney's strike partner.
England team: James; Brown, Ferdinand, Terry, A Cole; Walcott, Barry, Lampard, J Cole; Rooney,
Heskey.
