England boss Roy Hodgson has revealed his side's squad numbers for the World Cup in Brazil.
There are few surprises among a roster that could hint at how the Three Lions might line up in Manaus when they take on Italy in their opening match of the competition.
Joe Hart claims the No.1 jersey, while skipper Steven Gerrard will don No.4 after Frank Lampard took the No.8 shirt, which the Liverpool captain usually wears for the Reds.
Glen Johnson, Leighton Baines, Gary Cahill and Phil Jagielka all claim the primary defensive numbers, suggesting that they could be the back line for which Hodgson opts in Brazil.
Jack Wilshere, meanwhile, has been handed the No.7 jersey, while strikers Wayne Rooney, Daniel Sturridge and Danny Welbeck will wear the No.10, No.9 and No.11 shirts, respectively.
