Plenty of options: Capello shares a joke with Sir Trevor Brooking at Wembley

'If he wants to be a good player and a good sportsman, he needs to drink less than the others,' he said. 'I spoke with him. He understands a lot but he is young. We need to help him.'

The Football Association of Wales, along with their counterparts in Scotland and Northern Ireland, are opposed to supporting a Great Britain team because they fear it might threaten their independence.

Meanwhile, England captain John Terry has dismissed claims by Gary Neville that Liverpool might have thrown a game against Chelsea to prevent Manchester United from winning the title. 'I don't agree with that at all,' said Terry.
