Everton defender Joleon Lescott has been drafted into the England squad for the Euro 2008 qualifiers against Israel and Russia.
The 25-year-old has been in excellent early-season form for the Toffees, scoring twice in victories at Tottenham and Bolton.
Lescott's call-up follows the withdrawal of Portsmouth defender Sol Campbell due to a hamstring injury.
