Word is that Steve McLaren will include Manchester City's Micah Richards in his semi-experimental England squad today, for the upcoming friendly against Holland.

Richards is only 18, but McLaren doesn't have many right backs to choose from. It's basically Gary Neville, Phil Neville, maybe Glen Johnson, and then after that I think it's still Paul Parker.

Other England Under 21ers that stand a chance of making this squad include Theo Walcott, Leighton Baines and Nigel Reo-Coker. Older (by comparison) players who may feel they deserve a call up include Kevin Nolan (who must be getting sick of waiting) and joey Barton.
