Butt in as Vassell drops to bench

Description

Sven-Goran Eriksson has responded to England’s limp second-half showing against Sweden by giving Manchester United’s Nicky Butt a central role in midfield for tomorrow’s game against Argentina. Emile Heskey will move from the left of midfield to partner Michael Owen up front, which means no place for Darius Vassell, despite being one of the few players to emerge from the Sweden debacle with his reputation unmuddied.
