Manager Fabio Capell said there were no guarantees that John Terry would retain his captaincy or even David Beckham would get his 100th cap against Switzerland.
He acknowledged that the captaincy issue was very importanmt and he would do his best to see that a fair and good choice was made.
John Terry has always been the preferred leader of the team and remains the perennial favorite to be Capello’s captain in the long-run, but most importantly no one will discover who will be the reigning captain at least possibly until Sept 6 when England begin their training for the 2010 World Cup with a qualifying match against Andorra.
The main reason for the brouhaha is the current injuries of John Terry causing the rumor that David Beckham was the next in line for the captaincy. A challenge by Arsenal’s Emmanuel Eboue at the Emirates cup on Dec 16 had severely fractured three bones in Terry’s right foot causing a statement of three to six weeks leave by Chelsea.
Although the manager has neither confirmed nor denied the rumors he has definitely stated that a provisional captain may be appointed till a final is deemed necessary.
