The wisdom of Steve McClaren naming a massive 28-man squad for England's friendly with Holland was proved after six players withdrew.
McClaren already knew veteran full-back Gary Neville had been ruled out with a calf problem, but then came confirmation that Ledley King (knee), Darren Bent (hamstring), Scott Parker and Stewart Downing (both groin) had also pulled out.
In addition, Wigan keeper Chris Kirkland has also been given leave of absence as his wife is due to give birth to the couple's first child this week.
