Teesdale missing from England squad
It appears that Richard Teesdale has not been selected in the England under-23 squad after all.
The Hereford United defender was a notable absentee from the squad released today after it was reported yesterday that he was to be included for the trip to Italy.
Instead, he is on standby should players drop out.
The Under-23 England National Game XI (semi-pro international) game will be played Cremona, Italy, on Wednesday, November 20th at 2.30pm.
The squad for the game in Cremona has been selected by caretaker manager Steve Avory, assistant to former manager John Owens who stepped down from the role of manager in the summer after being offered a full-time role coaching at the Liverpool FC Academy, report confguide.com.
After the game in Cremona, The FA will be stepping up their search for a permanent successor to John Owens, with matches arranged against Belgium in Ostend in February 2003 and against Holland in Eindhoven, in March 2003. The person appointed to this part time role, will be expected to have significant experience of managing and coaching, preferably in the Football League or Football Conference.
The squad in full is: Matt Baker (Hereford United), Chris Weale, Adam Lockwood, Lee Johnson and Darren Way (all Yeovil Town), Jonathon Boardman (Woking), Aaron Webster and Dale Anderson (both Burton Albion), John Kennedy (Canvey Island), Warren Peyton (Nuneaton Borough), Michael Rose (Hereford United), Wayne Purser (Barnet), Gary Thompson (Morecambe) Ryan Sugden, Martin Lancaster and Chris Blackburn (all Chester City).
