Jack's the lad: Wilshere (left) will line up opposite his Arsenal team-mate and Wales skipper Aaron Ramsey

'If my mind is not OK to drive this team, I go home,' said the Italian, who will step down at the end of Euro 2012.

Capello denied Gary Lineker's claim that he had lost interest in the job, saying: 'Gary Lineker sometimes speaks a lot and writes a lot. He doesn't know me very well. I am here. I like my job. I want to stay here. I hope to stay here for a long time.'

Capello accepted that his preparations for this game - England's 100th against Wales - had changed since Gareth Bale's injury.

Jack Wilshere will start in midfield, which may have a more attacking feel now there is no threat from the Tottenham midfielder. Darren Bent is preferred up front in tandem with Wayne Rooney. Andy Carroll looks set to be on the bench, and is expected to fulfil the role of Plan B, in case things go awry.
