Reo-Coker (c) has had an impressive season with West Ham
|
Nigel Reo-Coker has withdrawn from England's World Cup stand-by list and will be replaced by Phil Neville.
Troubled by a persistent back problem, West Ham captain Reo-Coker was forced out of England training on Tuesday.
Everton utility player Neville will join Scott Carson, Michael Dawson, Jermain Defoe and Andrew Johnson on England's five-man standby list.
The stand-by list is in case any of the main squad are injured before England's first game against Paraguay on 10 June.
