Neville set for England captaincy
Manchester United defender Gary Neville is on standby to captain England in the first match of their tour to the US.
Neville will take the armband against the USA on 28 May if Real Madrid refuse to release England skipper David Beckham and vice-captain Michael Owen.
Sven-Goran Eriksson plans to ask Real to let the pair go now that Barcelona have clinched the Spanish title.
Meanwhile, Eriksson has placed Spurs' Michael Dawson and West Brom's Kieran Richardson on standby for the squad.
Eriksson added: "We have two players on standby - Michael Dawson, who had one training session with us a couple of years ago - and Kieran Richardson, who has had a very good season at West Brom (on loan from Manchester United).
"They are both interesting players and I didn't want to put any senior players on standby.
"There's a full Premier League programme on Sunday and then the FA Cup final next weekend, so you have to be prepared for others to pull out."
Eriksson is already missing a host of players, including Paul Robinson, John Terry, Wayne Bridge, Rio Ferdinand, Jamie Carragher, Ledley King, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Kieron Dyer and Wayne Rooney.
