Don't write off Rio! Welbeck backs 'Rolls-Royce' defender despite England snub
Listen up: John Terry, Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard and Theo Walcott listen as Fabio Capello delivers a team talk

Asked whether he felt there were cliques in the England camp - a problem former United team-mate Paul Scholes claims he experienced - Welbeck said: 'I've not felt that yet, hopefully I don't. I'm good friends with (Liverpool striker) Andy (Carroll), and (Manchester City defender) Micah Richards. All the lads are great, it's a great set-up in the camp.'

All 24 players included in Capello's squad took part in this morning's initial training session at Arsenal's London Colney headquarters.

Fulham striker Bobby Zamora and Bursaspor goalkeeper Scott Carson were back in the international fold after earning recalls from Capello.
