Woodgate withdrawal hits England
Centre-back Jonathan Woodgate has been ruled out England's Euro 2008 qualifier in Israel on Saturday.
Woodgate, on loan at Middlesbrough from Real Madrid, has a knee injury and has not travelled to Tel Aviv but could be back to play Andorra next Wednesday.
"Jonathan's fitness comes first and we won't take risks with any player," said England coach Steve McClaren.
"We will keep in close contact with Middlesbrough to determine his availability for the Andorra match."
back Gary Neville is out injured, left-back Ashley Cole is suspended and Micah Richards has a calf problem.
Full-backs Luke Young and Gareth Barry were late call-ups to help ease McClaren's problems at the back but Woodgate's injury will leave England short of cover in central defence.
John Terry and Rio Ferdinand are expected to start in the heart of the defence and, with Jamie Carragher set to play on either the right or left side of defence, will be the only recognised centre-backs in the squad.
In attack, injured striker Darren Bent has been replaced by Preston's Nugent.
Nugent will be getting his first taste of the senior international scene and, If he plays, the 21-year-old would be England's first outfield player from outside the top flight since Michael Gray in 1999.
Nugent has scored 16 goals this season and is the first Preston player to be called up by England since Sir Tom Finney in 1959.
