Team News: Calum Chambers makes first England start for San Marino Euro 2016 qualifier

Chambers makes first England start

Calum Chambers has been handed his first England start by manager Roy Hodgson for this evening's Euro 2016 qualifier against minnows San Marino at Wembley.

Chambers has come into the fold to replace Everton's John Stones, who has been ruled out for up to 14 weeks with an ankle injury.

His inclusion is one of four changes to the side that secured a 2-0 win over Switzerland last month.

Arsenal's Kieran Gibbs has been handed his fourth cap at left-back in place of Leighton Baines, while James Milner has entered the midfield fold to replace Fabian Delph, who missed a training session earlier this week.

Phil Jagielka has also been recalled in defence, while Raheem Sterling, Danny Welbeck and captain Wayne Rooney have been given the nod in attack.

England: Hart; Chambers, Jagielka, Cahill, Gibbs; Wilshere, Henderson, Milner; Sterling, Welbeck, Rooney

San Marino: Simoncini; Palazzi, Della Valle, F Vitaioli, Buscarini; Coppini, M Vitaioli, Cervellini, Tosi; Selva, Rinaldi
