Quote:

Daniel Sturridge and Jack Rodwell are in contention to face world champions Spain with England boss Fabio Capello set to name both players in his provisional squad for the upcoming internationals.
...
All three are in Capello's provisional squad and Everton's Rodwell has a big chance of playing due to the plague of midfield injuries.
An ankle injury to Manchester United's Tom Cleverley, ongoing fitness problems for Steven Gerrard of Liverpool and with Arsenal's Jack Wilshere also absent through injury, Capello is ready to turn to Rodwell now that he is finally first-choice at Everton

Is this really gonna happen? Anyone actually want it to? Think he'll get out classed by Xavi and co??

Xavi will dive an he will get sent off within the first 20 minutes.

Provisional squad. Even with the lack of midfielder, Hargreaves will get picked or something

it will be good experience for the lad...only way he's going to grow as a player is to mix it with the big boys

I hope he plays, I think it'll be really good for him. Even if you lot get whipped..

Look for his De Jong-like karate kick on Alonso, it'll be worth it!

Xavi and co will bully him if he does get some game time though
