LONDON - John Terry has
been ruled out of England's World Cup qualifier against
Kazakhstan on Saturday with a back problem and Rio Ferdinand
will take over the captaincy, manager Fabio Capello said on
Friday.
Terry missed much of the week's training with a recurrence
of the problem that has dogged him for months and will be
replaced at Wembley by either John Upson or Joleon Lescott.
Capello said he did not yet know whether the Chelsea centre
back would recover in time for next Wednesday's qualifier in
Belarus.
"It depends on his back. If he can train a bit then maybe,
but we have good replacements," Capello told a news conference.
