Carra and Gerrard to miss USA trip

England fly out to the US on May 26th, the day after the European Cup final. Although Sven Goran Eriksson has okayed both players to miss England's first game he wants them to fly out for the second game against Columbia on May 31st.

Most clubs do not want their players to go on such a pointless, tiring, end of season jaunt but Liverpool are set to be the first to make players unavailable to the FA.
