UPDATE 1-Soccer-Robinson recalled to revised England squad

(adds details, background)

LONDON, March 22 (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Paul Robinson has been restored to the England squad by Fabio Capello for the friendly with France in Paris on Wednesday.

Robinson, who lost his England spot in the final Euro 2008 qualifier against Croatia last year and also found himself demoted at club level, comes in for the injured Scott Carson.

Carson, on loan to Aston Villa from Liverpool, was withdrawn on Saturday after his team's home defeat by Sunderland. Robinson was not named in Capello's initial 30-man squad on Thursday.

West Ham United defender Matthew Upson was also forced out by injury when Capello trimmed his squad to the 23 listed by the FA on its Web site (www.the-fa.com).

Spurs midfielder Jermaine Jenas, who scored the first goal of Capello's reign against Switzerland, is not in the revised squad after missing his club's Premier League victory at home to Portsmouth on Saturday.

Portsmouth striker Jermain Defoe, who was ineligible to play against his old club Tottenham, was also cut from the squad despite his good form since leaving Spurs.

Chelsea winger Shaun Wright-Phillips and Aston Villa strike duo Gabriel Agbonlahor and Ashley Young were also deemed surplus to requirements along with Middlesbrough defender David Wheater.
