Stuart Pearce will reportedly name a young and inexperienced side to face Holland in England's Euro 2012 warm-up match next week.

England temporary coach Stuart Pearce is reportedly planning on giving a number of senior Three Lions players the chop in favour of an inexperienced side against Holland.

The England Under-21s boss is believed to have overlooked the majority of the regular starters in a bid to give younger players a chance, according to Sky Sports News.

It is understood that the 49-year-old has contacted a number of the first-team squad to inform them of his decision.

Pearce will name his England side to play in the Euro 2012 warm-up match against Holland tomorrow ahead of the game due at the end of this month.

This decision could pave the way for the likes of Arsenal winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Liverpool's Jordan Henderson into the senior team.

Pearce took the reins from Fabio Capello on an interim basis following the Italian's decision to step down from the managerial post.
