Kalifa Cisse has been called up by Mali for the first time, and joins Jimmy Kebe in the squad for next week's international with France 'A'.

Cisse is yet to represent his country, and Kebe is back in the squad after a spell out of consideration. The game takes place in France next Wednesday, 26th March.

There was unfortunate news for Nicky Shorey though, who missed out on a place in Fabio Capello's England squad.

There is a provisional selection for Emerse Fae, who is lined up to play against Tunisia in France for the Cote D'Ivoire.

Simon Church has been picked by Wales' under 21s game with Bosnia-Herzegovina.

James Henry is in the England under 19s squad for a game against Russia in Milton Keynes next Tuesday. Hal Robson-Kanu is on standby.
