England take on the five-time world champions on Saturday November 14 in Doha in Qatar and Capello has named several fresh faces in a squad shorn of Steven Gerrard, Rio Ferdinand, Ashley Cole, Aaron Lennon, David James, Emile Heskey and Carlton Cole. However, there is no place for Manchester United striker Michael Owen.

Warnock's international career extends to an eight-minute substitute appearance in Trinidad last year, while Huddlestone is still to make his senior debut. Bent has been in fine form this season, scoring eight goals, but international recognition had proved elusive. The Sunderland striker has not scored in any of his previous four senior appearances for England.

Capello's original 24-man squad has been reduced by one, with David Beckham withdrawing due to Los Angeles Galaxy's progression to the MLS Western Conference play-off final on Sunday.
