MF: Daniele Di Rossi – Italy

Along with Andrea Pirlo, the Roma enforcer is being phased out of La Squadra over the next 18 months, meaning he will miss the clash with England next week.

MF: Lars Bender – Germany

Following Sami Khedira’s return to fitness, the Leverkusen midfielder has had to make do with a reduced role with the World Cup winners.

MF: Ramires – Brazil
