Former Toon skipper Scott Parker is OUT - James Milner is IN.
Theo Walcott was included for the friendly against Egypt at Wembley in March and retained his place for the victories over Mexico and Japan over the past eight days.
Walcott was one of only two players - Wayne Rooney was the other - to start all three friendlies but he will not be going to South Africa - despite telling the media last week he expected to be included.
Capello decided Walcott was a luxury he could do without.
Wright-Phillips is the obvious beneficiary despite Man City boss Roberto Mancini prefering the talents of new recruit Adam Johnson.
The other surprise inclusion was Aston Villa's Stephen Warnock, whose international experience remains stuck at the six minutes' action he got in Trinidad two years ago.
Bizarrely, Warnock did not feature at all in the last three friendlies, when Leighton Baines started twice.
But Baines' frank revelation that he could struggle with homesickness if he spent six weeks away from his family must have rung alarm bells for Capello, essentially as his back-up left-back might never get a chance to play in South Africa, hence Warnock's inclusion as Ashley Cole's deputy.
