Steve McClaren has recalled Andy Johnson to the England squad for the Euro 2008 qualifiers against Andorra and Macedonia.

Michael Carrick is also back after injury but Gary Neville is ruled out with a calf injury. McClaren is also without Joe Cole and Jamie Carragher through injury.

Johnson (25) was on standby for the World Cup finals but has not made an international appearance since last year's summer tour of America.

He won his first England cap as a substitute in a friendly against Holland in February last year and then started his only game for his country against the USA in Chicago.

He was largely ignored by Sven-Goran Eriksson as he languished in the Championship with Crystal Palace but was named among the World Cup stand-by players.

Johnson left Palace for Everton in an £8.6million move this summer and has started the season well, scoring on his debut against Watford.

Carrick missed the friendly against Greece with an ankle injury but returned to make his Manchester United debut at Charlton in midweek.

Wayne Rooney is suspended from both games and McClaren is short of options up front.

Michael Owen will miss most of the season with a knee injury and Dean Ashton broke his ankle on the eve of the Greece game, when McClaren was set to hand him a debut.

Theo Walcott and Scott Carson, who both went to the World Cup, are in the under-21 squad.

England squad: Robinson (Tottenham), Kirkland (Liverpool), Foster (Man Utd), A Cole (Arsenal), Young (Charlton), P Neville (Everton), Bridge (Chelsea), Terry (Chelsea), Ferdinand (Man Utd), Brown (Man Utd), Dawson (Tottenham), Lampard (Chelsea), Hargreaves (Bayern Munich), Carrick (Man Utd), Gerrard (Liverpool), Jenas (Tottenham), Wright-Phillips (Chelsea), Richardson (Man Utd), Downing (Middlesbrough), Lennon (Tottenham), Defoe (Tottenham), Bent (Charlton), Johnson (Everton), Crouch (Liverpool).
