Kelly Gets England Call

Martin Kelly has been called into the England squad for Euro 2012 after the withdrawal through injury of Gary Cahill.

Chelsea defender Cahill has been ruled-out after suffering two fractures of his jaw, during Saturday's win over Belgium.

Kelly will become the sixth Liverpool player in the squad alongside Glen Johnson, Steven Gerrard, Stewart Downing, Andy Carroll and Jordan Henderson in Roy Hodgson's party.

A statement on the FA website read: "Liverpool defender Martin Kelly will be called into the squad – subject to agreement from UEFA's medical team."

After Liverpool, Manchester United has the second biggest representation in the squad with four players.
