Celebration: Wayne Rooney becomes the ninth England player to reach 100 caps
Standard Sport15 November 2014

Nathaniel Clyne makes his international debut while Wayne Rooney earns his one-hundredth cap as England face Slovenia in a European Championship at Wembley.

Southampton full-back Clyne and Arsenal’s Kieran Gibbs are the only unfamiliar faces in a side that many expected Hodgson to name.

England captain Rooney will lead his side out as he makes his 100th appearance for the national side at Wembley, becoming the ninth man to do so.

West Brom striker Saido Berahino will hope to become the second England debutant of the evening as a substitute, while long-term injury absentees Theo Walcott and Ross Barkley also return to the bench.

Adam Lallana joins Jack Wilshere and Jordan Henderson in an attacking-minded midfield three for England as the Three Lions look to continue their 100 per-cent start to their qualification campaign.

England team to face Slovenia: Hart, Clyne, Cahill, Jagielka, Gibbs, Henderson, Wilshere, Lallana, Sterling, Welbeck, Rooney.

Subs: Smalling Foster, Chambers, Barkley, Milner, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Walcott, Downing, Berahino, Lambert, Forster
