Team News: Phil Jones to start on right of midfield for England

Jones to start on right of midfield for England

Manchester United defender Phil Jones has reportedly been selected on the right side of midfield for England's international friendly with Brazil tonight.

It is understood that Jones, who has operated in a number of positions for United this season, will provide cover for Glen Johnson at right-back.

Frank Lampard will continue to wear the armband in the absence of Steven Gerrard, while there is also a place for Leighton Baines in defence.

A number of injuries in forward positions mean that Theo Walcott will operate alongside Wayne Rooney in attack.

England: Hart; Johnson, Cahill, Jagielka, Baines; Jones, Carrick, Lampard, Milner; Rooney, Walcott

Brazil: Julio Cesar; Dani Alves, Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Marcelo; Paulinho, Fernando; Neymar, Oscar, Lucas; Fred
