New England manager Roy Hodgson has indicated that he is ready to give another chance to players who have failed to deliver at previous tournaments.
Hodgson will announce his 23-man squad on Wednesday and has been carefully considering his options since being appointed as Fabio Capello's permanent successor at the start of May.
He has now hinted that there are unlikely to be many surprises in his selection and that he will keep faith in the experienced players.
Hodgson is also reluctant to jettison those who played a key role in securing qualification for Euro 2012.
"It has been interesting taking over a squad of players that has qualified for the tournament and done extremely well to qualify for the tournament under another manager," he said.
"I have tried to keep things in mind there and try to put together a squad which I think is capable of doing well in the tournament.
"And giving players also a chance perhaps to show that they are as good a player as we believe they were in the previous tournaments, when maybe the team has not gone quite as far as we hoped they would go."
