We can bring you first and exclusive news of the squad numbers that England will be wearing during the World Cup Finals in Korea and Japan.
Sven revealed the numbers this morning, but was quick to play down their significance in terms of who he will be picking to start the tournament.
"This is the way that the shirts have been allocated," he told TheFA.com.
"As for my starting XI to face Sweden, we will wait and see on that one, but I can say for sure that squad numbers will certainly not play a part in my team selection."
One interesting fact to note is that Paul Gascoigne wore the number 19 shirt at Italia ’90. Have a scroll down and see who will be wearing it in Japan…..
