England striker Rickie Lambert.

Wayne Rooney, Daniel Sturridge, Danny Welbeck and Andy Carroll were all out.
Gabriel Agbonlahor, Peter Crouch, Darren Bent, Fraizer Campbell, Kevin Phillips, or any other top flight English striker was not selected.
These striker problems left England with just Southampton‘s Rickie Lambert and Tottenham’s Jermaine Defoe available to them yesterday, with Lambert getting to start. Striking woes have long been persistent at England, none more so than what the scenario was at Kiev. Shortage of able strikers is something to deliberate closely in the England Camp.
