Wilfried Zaha called up to the England squad to play Sweden

Wilfried Zaha has been called into the England squad for the friendly with Sweden.

The Crystal Palace youngster is joined by Carl Jenkinson and Tom Huddlestone in the Three Lions squad, following injuries to Wayne Rooney, Theo Walcott, Jonjo Shelvey, Kyle Walker and Aaron Lennon.

It puts Zaha in line to become one of the small number of outfield players who have featured for the Three Lions despite playing outside the top division.

The last man to do it was Jay Bothroyd, who was at Cardiff when he played against France in November 2010. Prior to that, David Nugent scored in the World Cup win over Andorra in March 2007.
