Battle: Capello is trying to call Danny Welbeck into the squad to ward off interest from Tuesday's opponents
Welbeck scored as England Under 21s beat Denmark 4-0 on Friday and was one of five players allowed to leave early to return to their clubs. However, Capello has sprung a surprise that will force the Manchester-born star to make an decision about his future.
FIFA rules prevent any player from switching allegiances if they have made an appearance for a senior national team, meaning Welbeck will be pledging his future to England if he plays.
