england team to play holland
Micah Richards will start England's friendly with Holland, while Andy Johnson will partner Wayne Rooney in attack. Manchester City teenager Richards will start at right back in the Amsterdam ArenA in the absence of the injured Gary Neville. In attack, Steve McClaren has opted to pair Everton striker Johnson with Rooney, while Paul Robinson keeps his place in goal after his gaffe in the last game against Croatia. McClaren has also elected to stick with Steven Gerrard on the right-hand side of midfield, with Michael Carrick and Frank Lampard the central pairing. Joe Cole will make his first England appearance since McClaren replaced Sven Goran Eriksson as coach. England team v Holland: Robinson, Richards, Ferdinand, Terry, A Cole, Gerrard, Lampard, Carrick, J Cole, Johnson, Rooney.
