Which of the Three Lions’ newest call-ups are set to roar?

Colback ironically got his first extended break in the Sunderland first-team at left back, when then loanee Danny Rose suffered numerous injuries – another player to earn his first Three Lions call-up for Wednesday’s friendly.

With Frank Lampard and Gerrard calling it a day, Colback is an option in a position England have all of a sudden become light in, and he can operate at full back if need be too.

Fabian Delph (Aston Villa)
Bradford-born Delph, 24, made his debut for Leeds United aged 16 and quickly became a young and exciting prodigy in the Football League.

After a £6m move to Aston Villa, Delph has gone on to cement himself as a fan favourite in an otherwise rather non-descript Villa side, prompting calls from boss Paul lambert for his inclusion in the England ranks.

The central midfielder picked up Fans Player of the Year for the 2013/14 campaign, a season that included a sterling performance against Chelsea where he netted the winner in a 1-0 victory.

Delph’s stature and excellent athleticism not only sees him cover great ground, but enables him to pose a threat moving forwards – something of a similar ilk to Chelsea’s Ramires. Though Delph will have Jack Wilshere, Jordan Henderson and James Milner for competition, his attributes certainly offer a different dimension.

Danny Rose (Tottenham)
Like Delph, Rose started his career at Leeds before securing a move to the Premier League, in his case with Tottenham Hotspur.

Rose is a bullish, enthusiastic left sider who is fully committed to every endeavour of the game. His intensity underpins his value both defensively and offensively.

The player, 24, was originally a left winger; however, after a loan spell at Sunderland, he returned to Spurs in the 13/14 season and finally established himself in the first-team picture in the left back slot.

Rose has got his work cut out to convince Hodgson he can be England’s resident left-back with not only Leighton Baines in his way, but also the injured duo of Kieran Gibbs (24) and Luke Shaw (19).

Although Chambers’ call-up seems like the most permanent of the four, the midfielders in particular, following a string of retirements and loss of form (Tom Cleverley), should be given every chance to stake their claim for Hodgson’s new-born England.
