Heskey recalled to England squad
Heskey has been in the international wilderness for over three years
England coach Steve McClaren has called Wigan forward Emile Heskey into his squad for the Euro 2008 qualifiers against Israel and Russia.
The Wigan striker won the last of his 43 caps against France at Euro 2004.
McClaren watched the 29-year-old in action for Wigan at Newcastle on Saturday and subsequently requested his release from the Latics.
"I think he deserves to be recalled. We need his experience at this time," said McClaren on the FA's website.
"Emile is a player with a lot international experience and has played many times with Michael Owen in the past.
"He's been in good form for Wigan this season, he played very well against Sunderland and I saw him play well against Newcastle.
I think it's a thoroughly deserved call-up because he has been playing out of his skin
Wigan boss Chris Hutchings
"While he has been out of the squad for a few years, I've spoken with [Wigan boss] Chris Hutchings who has been hugely impressed with him."

"He hit it," wrote Sir Alex Ferguson of one particularly vicious Alan Shearer finish against Poland in 1996, "as if he wanted to kill it."
