Someone has reported on the BBC website that Theo Walcott has been seen checking in to a flight to the Caribbean with his gf. Unsubstantiated I know, but is it true? If so it should make Spurs fans the world over rejoice. (This is being reported as accurate as of 1:08 BST.)

Sky Sports say Darren Bent is NOT going to South Africa.

Initial indications on Gareth Barry's fitness test are favourable, according to Sky sources.

Michael Carrick in? Apparently so.

Sounds like Adam Johnson misses out as well.

Joe Cole in (Sky).

SWP in the squad as well.

Baines, Dawson, Parker and Huddlestone out (rumour).

King out Dawson in (rumour).

King in (Sky).

Sky Sports is reporting that an official announcement from the FA will be forthcoming at 3pm BST.

As of 2:22 BST, Walcott, Bent, Johnson, Baines are staying home.

My sense is that Huddlestone, Parker and Dawson will be omitted as well. Don't think there will be any more surprises. At one point there were whispers about Defoe not making it. But the Bent omission killed that off.

This has been a very poor method the FA has chosen to employ. It is a real mess. Makes transfer day seem civilized and organized!

Now the announcement will be at 4pm. The FA's handling of this has been diabolical.
