U-21 midfielder Rodwell has been named in the England squad that will take part in the European Championships in Denmark this Summer. Boss Stuart Pearce trimmed his 40-man provisional squad to a 23-man squad that will travel to Denmark. Rodwell made the cut but James Vaughan, who spent the season on loan at Crystal Palace, did not.
The full squad is as follows:
Goalkeepers:
Frankie Fielding (Derby County), Jason Steele (Middlesbrough), Alex McCarthy (Reading)
Defenders:
Ryan Bertrand (Chelsea), Kieran Gibbs (Arsenal), Phil Jones (Blackburn Rovers), Michael Mancienne (Chelsea), Micah Richards (Manchester City), Chris Smalling (Manchester United), Kyle Walker (Tottenham Hotspur)
Midfielders:
Marc Albrighton (Aston Villa), Tom Cleverley (Manchester United), Jack Cork (Chelsea), Jordan Henderson (Sunderland), Henri Lansbury (Arsenal), Fabrice Muamba (Bolton Wanderers),Jack Rodwell (Everton), Danny Rose (Tottenham Hotspur), Scott Sinclair (Swansea City)
Forwards:
Nathan Delfouneso (Aston Villa), Daniel Sturridge (Chelsea), Danny Welbeck (Manchester United), Connor Wickham (Ipswich Town)

England will take on Norway in a warm-up fixture at Southampton's St Mary's Stadium on 5th June, prior to their first match in the tournament on 12th June, against Spain. Then they face Ukraine on the 5th June, and then Czech Republic on 19th June. The top two teams in the group qualify for the semi-finals.
David Moyes said "It could have an impact on us next season in that Jack could be tired from playing during the Summer.
"But this tournament is what he need and I'm looking forward to him making a big impact in Denmark.
"I think it will be good for Jack and I'm all for him going to the tournament.
Meanwhile, Phil Jagielka and Leighton Baines have received senior call-ups. England, who lie top of their Euro 2012 qualifying group, have arranged a friendly against Switzerland at Wembley on 4th June and a subsequent friendly against John Heitinga's Holland on 10th June.
The England squad in full is:
Goalkeepers:
Scott Carson (West Bromwich Albion), Joe Hart (Manchester City), David Stockdale (Fulham)
Defenders:
Leighton Baines (Everton), Ashley Cole (Chelsea, Rio Ferdinand (Manchester United), Phil Jagielka (Everton), Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Joleon Lescott (Manchester City), John Terry (Chelsea), Kyle Walker (Tottenham Hotspur)
Midfielders:
Gareth Barry (Manchester City), Michael Carrick (Manchester United), Stewart Downing (Aston Villa), Adam Johnson (Manchester City), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), James Milner (Manchester City), Scott Parker (West Ham United), Theo Walcott (Arsenal), Jack Wilshere (Arsenal), Ashley Young (Aston Villa)
Forwards:
Darren Bent (Aston Villa), Peter Crouch (Tottenham Hotspur), Jermain Defoe (Tottenham Hotspur, Bobby Zamora (Fulham).
Good luck to Bainesy, Jags and Rodders - although I hope Rodwell doesn't play too well - just remember what happened after Euro 2004 with a lad named Wayne.
