Chelsea have four players in the England squad to face Spain and Sweden in international friendlies this week, and the big story is Daniel Sturridge's first senior callup. Obviously, the striker's been in good goalscoring form (if somewhat erratic at everything else) for the past nine months, and it had been a bit of a mystery as to how he's not gotten the call previously. But nevermind about the past snubs - he's in now and will hopefully impress.

The rest of the Chelsea boys are the usual crowd - John Terry retains his place despite the ongoing racism investigation by both the FA and the Metropolitan police, while Ashley Cole and Frank Lampard both retain their spots in the squad, although they're hardly guaranteed to start.
