Why has Dawson been dropped by England?

Fabio Capello's latest England squad is notable from a Spurs point of view for the absentees this time round. While Kyle Walker, Peter Crouch and Jermain Defoe retained their places, Michael Dawson and Aaron Lennon missed out.

Considering the case of Dawson, it seemed worth checking as to whether he had picked up injury considering the positive comments he drew after the Wales qualifier.
