England coach Fabio Capello has excused seven players involved in last week's Champions League final from Sunday's match in Trinidad and Tobago.
Chelsea's John Terry, Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard and Joe Cole, plus Manchester United's Wayne Rooney, Owen Hargreaves and Wes Brown are out.
Rio Ferdinand is expected to captain the side although Gareth Barry may be given the armband for part of the game.
Goalkeeper Joe Hart and striker Dean Ashton could make their full debuts.
Capello has elected to rest those players - Ferdinand excepted - who featured in the Moscow final for England's last fixture of the season.
Chelsea full-back Wayne Bridge is in the squad, although the full-back did not play in the Champions League final.
I haven't heard anything about it yet," said Barry of a possible captain's role.
"Obviously though, it would be fantastic as it is something I've always dreamed about."
Joe Lewis, Phil Jagielka, Stephen Warnock, David Wheater, Tom Huddlestone and Gabriel Agbonlahor are the other players in the 22-man squad, ahead of the game at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, who have yet to win full caps.
