England plan aerial route

England are planning to take the aerial route to victory over Israel in Saturday's must-win Euro 2008 qualifier at Wembley.
Steve McClaren sprung a surprise when he recalled powerful Wigan striker Emile Heskey to his squad after three years in the international wilderness.
It was a decision, England's head coach admits, that was strongly influenced by England's inability to break down the Israeli defence during a goalless draw in Tel Aviv earlier this year.
"There are only three ways you can get at teams - you can either go through them, go round them or go over them," McClaren said. "Emile gives us other options. He is a problem for defenders in the air and, in Israel, because Peter Crouch was not available, we did not have a Plan B.
"We have not got Peter for the Israel game this time either (because of suspension), which is one of the reasons I have brought Emile in."
Heskey has been widely tipped to partner Michael Owen in attack, although McClaren has also been looking at how Owen combines with the more lightweight Andrew Johnson during England's training sessions.
In the absence of the injured Frank Lampard, McClaren is hoping Owen Hargreaves will be fit to partner Steven Gerrard in the centre of midfield for both the Israel match and the equally important meeting with Russia four days later.
That looks a tall order however for a player who has been struggling with tendonitis in his knee and has not played two matches in quick succession for Manchester United since moving to the Premier League champions in the summer.
As a result, McClaren has taken an extended look at Gareth Barry in a central midfield role and the Aston Villa captain's superior tackling appears to have moved him ahead of Manchester United's Michael Carrick in the midfield pecking order.
As well as deciding whether to risk playing Gerrard, who will require a pain-killing injection in a broken toe, McClaren faces selection dilemmas on the right of midfield and in goal.
Paul Robinson's star has waned as a result of a string of high-profile errors and the Tottenham goalkeeper was at fault for Germany's equaliser in the 2-1 friendly defeat at Wembley last month.
That has opened the door for David James to resurrect an international career that appeared to be over when he lost his first-choice status to Robinson following an even more glaring blunder in a World Cup qualifier in Austria three years ago.
On the right of midfield, Shaun Wright-Phillips has been in impressive form this season but the Chelsea player has appeared overwhelmed on his previous England appearances and McClaren may prefer to ask David Bentley to fill that slot.
The Blackburn midfield cannot match Wright-Phillips in terms of trickery but his crossing is arguably more astute, making him a closer fit for the gap left by the injured David Beckham.
