London  - Birmingham City goalkeeper Joe Hart and Bolton defender Gary Cahill were called into the England squad on Tuesday for the two remaining World Cup qualifying matches against Ukraine and Belarus.

Hart replaces Paul Robinson in the squad after the Blackburn goalkeeper pulled out with a hip problem. Cahill, who has yet to make his England debut, comes in after Manchester City defender Joleon Lescott picked up a calf injury.

England, who have already qualified for next summer's finals in South Africa, are away to Ukraine on Saturday and then host Belarus at Wembley on Wednesday.  dpa
