David Beckham has been recalled to the England squad for the friendly with France on 26 March.
The LA Galaxy midfielder, 32, who has 99 caps, is in a provisional 30-man squad named by coach Fabio Capello.

Arsenal winger Theo Walcott, 19, has been called up for the first time since the 2006 World Cup finals.

Middlesbrough defender David Wheater(??), Portsmouth's Jermain Defoe and Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor are also included.

But Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick and his club-mate, goalkeeper Ben Foster, miss out.

Capello has picked Portsmouth veteran David James, Villa's Scott Carson and Wigan's Chris Kirkland as his three keepers, meaning there is also no place for Tottenham's Paul Robinson or West Ham's Rob Green.

    Kirkland is a top keeper to be fair.

    Beckham is playing for the LA Galaxy agaisnt the Vancouver Whitecaps in a friendly match in Edmonton, Alberta soon - not sure I can be bothered to make the journey north for that one. Apparently he has to play 45 mins minimum & if he gets injured prior to the game, it will be canceled!

    Don't see how Green could be included after letting in 12 goals in 3 games
