England coach Steve McClaren will anxiously await the arrival of his squad for the vital Euro 2008 qualifier with Israel desperately hoping he receives no nasty surprises.Eleven of McClaren´s 23-man party for the trip to Tel Aviv were in FA Cup action on Monday night and although early reports suggested there would be no further withdrawals - in addition to the losses of Gary Neville and Darren Bent - McClaren will not be able to breathe easily until all his players have reported for duty at their Watford base.England´s plans have already been badly disrupted by the two quarter-final replays, with Tuesday´s planned training session scrapped in favour of a light warm-down session.
