Four Manchester United players have been
included in Sven-Goran Eriksson's 23-man squad that will travel to
Portugal to compete in Euro 2004 this summer.
Midfielders Nicky Butt, Phil Neville and Paul Scholes along with defender Gary Neville have all been given the nod but Wes Brown, who has been tipped to make the squad after an impressive return from injury, did not. Eriksson said: "Wes Brown is coming back from two bad injuries. I think that he has not got back to the level he was at before those injuries, that is my opinion." England's Euro 2004 campaign kicks off on June 13th in Lisbon where Sven's men meet current European Champions France then will take on other members of Group B - Croatia and Switzerland on the 17th of June and 21st of June respectively. Full Squad Goalkeepers: David James, Paul Robinson, Ian Walker Defenders: Wayne Bridge, Jamie Carragher, Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Ashley Cole, Ledley King, John Terry, Sol Campbell Midfielders: David Beckham, Nicky Butt, Joe Cole, Kieron Dyer, Steven Gerrard, Owen Hargreaves, Frank Lampard, Paul Scholes Strikers: Emile Heskey, Michael Owen, Wayne Rooney, Darius Vassell.
