Terry ruled out of Kazakhstan game

LONDON COLNEY, England (AFP) - John Terry has been ruled out of England’s World Cup qualifier against Kazakhstan on Saturday with a back injury, manager Fabio Capello confirmed on the eve of the match.

Fellow centreback Rio Ferdinand will stand in for Terry as captain with Joleon Lescott the favourite to partner the Manchester United man at the heart of the defence.

Capello admitted that Terry, who has been unable to train all week, was also doubtful for next week’s trip to Belarus.

England go into the match looking to build on the momentum created by last month’s impressive 4-1 win in Croatia and Capello is being tipped to field an attacking line-up with Emile Heskey, Wayne Rooney and Theo Walcott up front, ahead of a midfield trio of Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Gareth Barry.
