Danny Welbeck, Adam Lallana 'to start for England against Peru'

Welbeck 'to start for England'

England manager Roy Hodgson has reportedly opted to start Danny Welbeck and Adam Lallana in tonight's World Cup warm-up match against Peru at Wembley.

Friday's match is the first of three friendly fixtures before the Three Lions travel to Brazil for the World Cup next month.

According to Sky Sports News, Hodgson has made four changes from the side that played Denmark back in March as Welbeck enters the field, while Leighton Baines replaces Ashley Cole, who has now retired from international football.

Lallana has come into the fold in place of Raheem Sterling and Phil Jagielka is handed his place in defence as opposed to Chris Smalling.

Jack Wilshere has reportedly missed out, but Daniel Sturridge and Wayne Rooney are expected to lead the line for England in their final home match before Brazil.

Reported England XI: Hart; Johnson, Cahill, Jagielka, Baines; Gerrard, Henderson; Lallana, Rooney, Welbeck; Sturridge
