CB) Gary Cahill
The Chelsea man may have missed out on the England captaincy, despite the backing of his club manager, Jose Mourinho, but the centre back remains one of the country’s finest defenders.
CB) Phil Jagielka
The Everton defender at a difficult World Cup and has a less than impressive start to the new Premier League season. He will need to impress here or risks being dropped as soon as Hodgson finds new options.
CM) Jordan Henderson
The Liverpool midfielder has enjoyed an impressive start to the new season. With his club teammate Steven Gerrard having retired from international duty, Hodgson will be looking to Henderson to take over the mantle.
