Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Fabio Capello has named Phil Jones, Tom Cleverley, Chris Smalling and Danny Welbeck in his provisional England squad for the Euro 2012 qualifiers against Bulgaria and Wales next month, which he will whittle down to 23 names on Sunday.
It raises the prospect that the England manager may be about to reshape his team around another generation of young Manchester United players, in this case a quartet who were so impressive in Monday's win over Tottenham. Jones and Welbeck were named in the Under-21s squad for games against Azerbaijan on Thursday and Israel four days later but Capello has told the U21 manager, Stuart Pearce, that he may need the players to step up.
Jack Wilshere and Glen Johnson are out of the senior games, the first of which is against Bulgaria a week today, and Rio Ferdinand is a doubt. The decision over who to play at right-back is a difficult one. Kyle Walker, nominally Johnson's understudy, was ill during the Spurs game.
