Fabio Capello stuck with the old-guard as he trimmed his squad for Wednesday's friendly against Switzerland.
The Italian on Saturday finalized a 23-man squad for his first match as England coach after dropping fringe players Curtis Davies, Nicky Shorey, Michael Carrick, Stewart Downing and Glen Johnson from his provisional 30-man group.
Wigan Athletic striker Emile Heskey was ruled out after suffering an injury during his team's win over West Ham on Saturday, while Tottenham Hotspur defender Ledley King is also sidelined through injury.
Those changes left a familiar looking group, with the only fresh face Aston Villa's young striker Gabriel Agbonlahor.
Capello insisted the players who did not make the cut would still be considered in future, giving David Beckham, who did not even make the provisional squad, hope that he could still win his 100th cap.
"I want to be clear that the players who have not made the squad this time are still part of my plans," Capello told the FA's Web site. "We will be monitoring the form of everyone very closely as we work towards the competitive matches which start in September. It is of course a blow to lose Ledley King from the squad. He is a very good player who has impressed me a lot when I have seen him play."
