Ashley asked to play in Amsterdam

With Gerrard not making the flight after suffering a slight groin injury in training on Monday, coach Fabio Capello has decided Young should fill the left-sided midfield berth. The Aston Villa man's pace could present a major problem to a Dutch side that has already qualified for next summer's World Cup. It will be Young's sixth cap and his fifth under Fabio Capello, but this will be his first ever international start. "It will be a good test for him," said Capello.
