Hammers midfielder withdrawn from England U21 squad

5:06pm Tuesday 13th May 2008


WEST Ham midfielder Mark Noble has pulled out of the England U21 squad to face Wales tomorrow night.

The 21-year-old limped out of the Irons 2-2 draw with Aston Villa on Sunday complaining of a back and hamstring trouble.

That has forced him to give up his place in the young Three Lions squad for the friendly at Wrexham FC's Racecourse Ground.

Another Hammers youngster, 19-year-old midfielder Jack Collison, is set to line up for Wales for the clash.

Noble (pictured) has been replaced by Spurs midfielder Tom Huddlestone, who has been drafted into the squad on the back of being called into Fabio Capello's senior squad to face USA and Trinidad and Tobago.
