Wayne Rooney has had to pull out of the England squad to face Belarus with a calf problem. The Manchester United striker picked up the injury during England's defeat to Ukraine on Saturday.

Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard will need to have his groin injury assessed before knowing if he will be able to start. On the goalkeeping front, Ben Foster has been called up to the squad following the sending off of Robert Green on Saturday ruled him out of this clash, but David James is likely to get the nod to wear the No.1 jersey.

England at odds of 1/6 with Coral may interest the odd heavy-hitters and some would say it's a quicker way of making money than leaving it in the bank. With some of the fringe players possibly getting a run out and wanting to impress Fabio Capello a home victory looks a formality.

Having said that, Belarus will no doubt pack the defence and try to hold out for as long as possible therefore making the 4/1 with Paddy Power, Totesport and Stan James for England to be drawing at half-time before going on to win of some appeal.

With Wayne Rooney missing there will be an opportunity for one of England's back-up strikers to make an impact and should Carlton Cole get the nod he would be of major interest at 6/1 with Paddy Power in their first and last goalscorer betting.
