Fraizer Campbell and Tom Cleverley receive England call-ups while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain misses out on a place to face Holland next week.

Sunderland's Fraizer Campbell and Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley have been included in England's squad to face Holland next week.

The Black Cats forward has received his first ever call-up into the senior squad following his recent return from a lengthy injury, while Cleverley is poised to make his first-team debut under Stuart Pearce.

Cleverley's United teammates Danny Welbeck is also included in the squad, along with Phil Jones and Chris Smalling. Tottenham Hotspur full-back Kyle Walker and Manchester City's Micah Richards have also been given the chance to impress ahead of this summer's European championships.

While it was expected that Pearce would name a young side for the friendly fixture, the likes of Steven Gerrard, Wayne Rooney, Ashley Cole and Scott Parker have been called up.

Man City defender Joleon Lescott admitted yesterday that he was not needed for the clash. However, the biggest omission from the side is that of United centre-back Rio Ferdinand.

Arsenal winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has had an impressive start to his career with the Gunners, has missed out on a spot in Pearce's Euro 2012 warm-up squad.

England squad in full:

Goalkeepers: Scott Carson (Bursaspor), Joe Hart (Manchester City), Robert Green (West Ham United)

Defenders: Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Ashley Cole (Chelsea), Leighton Baines (Everton), Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Phil Jones (Manchester United), Micah Richards (Manchester City), Chris Smalling (Manchester United), Kyle Walker (Tottenham Hotspur)

Midfielders: Gareth Barry (Manchester City), Tom Cleverley (Manchester United), Stewart Downing (Liverpool), Adam Johnson (Manchester City), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), James Milner (Manchester City), Scott Parker (Tottenham Hotspur), Ashley Young (Manchester United), Theo Walcott (Arsenal)

Forwards: Darren Bent (Aston Villa), Fraizer Campbell (Sunderland), Daniel Sturridge (Chelsea), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Danny Welbeck (Manchester United)
