Two London "Chelsea" footballers John Terry and Frank Lampard will not help the national team in the selection for the 2012 European Championship matches against Bulgaria and Switzerland.

Both players suffered injuries during the Premier League matches against Stoke City. "Chelsea" coach Carlo Ancelotti confirmed that the players will not play for the national team as they need to recover from their injuries.

Furthermore, it is likely that the England national team will also be without two strikers - Bobby Zamora from Fulham and Peter Crouch from Tottenham.

Goalkeeper David Stockdale from Fulham is also recovering from an injury, and it is speculated that national team coach Fabio Capello also wanted to include him in the team's lineup.
