Ian Walker has been called up for England's friendlies against South Africa, Serbia - Montenegro and Slovakia. The first game is in South Africa in Durban on May 22nd.

Walker has been called up for England three times since joining Leicester in 2001 but has not played in any of the games. In our relegation year, and last season in the 1st division, he was overlooked by Sven, but 20 clean sheets has put him back in contention.

City fans who have tickets for the Serbia & Montenegro game at the Walkers Stadium on June 3rd will be hoping Ian can make an appearance in front of the home fans in that game.

The full 25 man squad for the 3 games is as follows...

Goalkeepers: David James (West Ham United), Paul Robinson (Leeds United), Ian Walker (Leicester City)

Defenders: Danny Mills (Leeds United), Rio Ferdinand (Manchester United), John Terry (Chelsea), Ashley Cole (Arsenal), Phil Neville (Manchester United), Matthew Upson (Birmingham City), Gareth Southgate (Middlesbrough), Wayne Bridge (Southampton)

Midfielders: David Beckham (Manchester United, captain), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Paul Scholes (Manchester United), Kieron Dyer (Newcastle United), Trevor Sinclair (West Ham United), Owen Hargreaves (Bayern Munich), Jermaine Jenas (Newcastle United), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), Danny Murphy (Liverpool)
