Fairclough Loses Three For Belgium Trip

Paul Fairclough has lost three midfielders due to FA Cup replays for the England midweek trip to Belgium.

Carl Baker (Southport), Karl Murray (Woking), and Tyrone Thompson (Halifax) are all withdrawn with their clubs facing FA Cup 1st Round replays this week. Michael Carr (Northwich), Craig Mackail-Smith (Dagenham), and Billy Jones (Exeter) replace the trio in the 16 man squad to face Belgium in Wavre on Tuesday.

The Belgians will select their side from their professional u-21 setup, with the other competitors in the tournament, Holland and Italy, will also take squads from their semi-pro leagues.
