Strikers boost England U21s hopes
England Under-21s play Portugal in a Euro 2009 qualifier on Tuesday needing just one point to book a play-off spot. Strikers Theo Walcott and Gabriel Agbonlahor, who has a slight knee injury, are included in the squad. The pair were doubts as they were prospects for a call-up to the senior squad after Michael Owen got injured. But Darren Bent has instead been called up by England boss Steve McClaren leaving Walcott and Agbonlahor to help the Under-21s to a sixth straight win. "Hopefully we'll qualify and I think we have a great chance," said midfielder Craig Gardner.
