Everyone in the England squad played a full part in training on Wednesday except the captain, John Terry. He remains a doubt for Saturday’s World Cup qualifier with Kazakhstan due to an on going niggling back injury.

Although playing some part on Wednesday is an improvement after Terry sat out the whole of Tuesday’s training, his back problem is clearly still an issue.

Surely Kazakhstan do not present a serious enough threat to England for Fabio Capello to risk his captain in Saturday’s game? The risk posed by Belarus next Wednesday may be more significant and I would expect England to be trying to ensure that Terry is fit for that game.

Rio Ferdinand played the major role in facing the media yesterday and I fully expect him to take the captain’s armband on Saturday.

There are many of us who feel that Capello should have made Ferdinand his captain in preference to the volatile Terry in the first place.

    in preference my ass, Terry is a born leader and shows true passion every game, Ferdinand is a great player but a thug and needs to set a good image on and off the pitch failing to show up for tests and shit isn’t a Captain.

    With or without JT, England will surely grab the 3 point on saturday. Up super eagles, up NIGERIA

    I don’t think BELARUS should pose any threath to ENGLAND even when they are playing at home. So the absense of JT will not be felt due to the availability of defenders like UPSON, DAWSON, ANTON FERDINAND, KING, WOODGATE and others.

Got something to say?
