It is only the second time Baines has been selected in a full England squad, although he made 16 appearances for the under-21s between 2004 and 2007, scoring his only goal in the first leg of a European Championship play-off game against Germany in October 2006.

Wayne Rooney has overcome a knee injury and will start in attack for a side that will be skippered by Liverpool’s Steven Gerrard.

Positions up for discussion include the goalkeeper and Rooney’s partner up front, while Ryan Shawcross is unlikely to start despite receiving positive backing from Capello in the wake of his tackle on Aaron Ramsey at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday that left the Arsenal man in hospital with a broken leg.

“I selected him before the game on Saturday,” Capello stressed. “The tackle was really hard and I’m upset for Ramsey, but it was not a tackle where he tried to break his leg. I’ve spoken twice with him. He’s young and it’s his first time with us. It is a little bit different for him but being with us helps him to forget what happened.”
