Cole set for England 100th cap
Chelsea left back Ashley Cole is in line to win his 100th England cap after being named in manager Roy Hodgson's 24-man squad on Thursday for next week's friendly against Brazil.
Cole returns after missing England's last game, a 4-2 defeat by Sweden in November, through injury.
Manchester United defender Chris Smalling is also back in the squad for the first time in almost a year and Everton midfielder Leon Osman, a surprise inclusion for Sweden, retains his place.

Forwards: Jermain Defoe, Wayne Rooney, Daniel Sturridge, Danny Welbeck.
