VIENNA, Austria - David Beckham has been included on the England roster for Friday's international friendly against Austria. The former Manchester United star last appeared for his country in the friendly with Germany in August but has missed the previous four Euro 2008 qualifiers with a knee injury. Beckham has been chosen by manager Steve McClaren despite his recent lack of match action and will earn his 98th cap against the Austrians. In total, McClaren made five changes from the side beaten 2-1 by Russia in Moscow.
