Roy Hodgson has named an experimental England squad for next week’s friendly against Italy, with John Terry among the senior players left out and Michael Carrick returning to the fold.

Tottenham duo Steven Caulker and Jake Livermore have been selected for the first time in addition to Chelsea's Ryan Bertrand.

Manchester United midfielder Carrick is back despite having told the Football Association he did not want to be selected for Euro 2012.

However, he has now made himself available and comes into a squad that is without England captain Steven Gerrard and other established regulars Wayne Rooney and Ashley Cole for Wednesday’s match in Berne.

Hodgson has retained just three players who started the Euro 2012 quarter-final defeat on penalties to Italy in Kiev - Manchester City duo Joe Hart and James Milner plus Ashley Young, who missed in the shootout.

But Frank Lampard, who missed Euro 2012 through injury, has been included and is likely to be vying with Hart for the captain’s armband.

Goalkeepers John Ruddy and Jack Butland are the other uncapped members of Hodgson's squad  in addition to Tom Cleverley, who would have made his debut 12 months ago had the friendly against Holland not been postponed due to the London riots.

Both England and Italy are 8/5 to win the game with bookmaker BetVictor, with the draw a 23/10 chance.

England squad for friendly match against Italy in Berne on Wednesday, August 15:

Goalkeepers: Jack Butland (Birmingham City), Joe Hart (Manchester City), John Ruddy (Norwich City).

Defenders: Leighton Baines (Everton), Ryan Bertrand (Chelsea), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Steven Caulker (Tottenham Hotspur), Phil Jagielka (Everton), Kyle Walker (Tottenham Hotspur).

Midfielders: Michael Carrick (Manchester United), Tom Cleverley (Manchester United), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), Adam Johnson (Manchester City), Jake Livermore (Tottenham Hotspur), James Milner (Manchester City), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal), Jack Rodwell (Everton), Ashley Young (Manchester United).

Forwards: Andy Carroll (Liverpool), Jermain Defoe (Tottenham Hotspur), Daniel Sturridge (Chelsea), Theo Walcott (Arsenal).
