Ghana be a star: But Capello is in no rush to call up Arsenal's Emmanuel Frimpong
'I put the players in the team if I think they are really good enough,' said Capello.
'If he plays with Arsenal, in a short time he will be at the top and I will select him.'
Frimpong has been called up for the England Under-21 team - and has played for the Under-16s and Under-17s - but under FIFA rules no player is considered to be bound to any nation until he has had his senior competitive debut.
If England top their group, there would be just three competitive games before Euro 2012, meaning Frimpong could be selected by Ghana for the African Cup of Nations next year.
