It is obviously good news for Sam Allardyce, and he will also be happy Michael Owen and Alan Smith were replaced in England´s friendly against Germany.
However, Stephen Carr played 90 minutes for the Republic of Ireland away to Denmark, while Emre was replaced in Turkey's game against Romania before half-time.
Allardyce had feared Emre could suffer a recurrance of the ankle problem which had kept him out since late April in the game.
