17 points: Anton Ferdinand (right) contradicted Terry's account of events

Capello met Terry at Chelsea's training ground on Friday to inform him of the decision after clearing the player's selection with FA chiefs. Capello told Terry he is unlikely to play against Spain because the England manager wants to try younger, less experienced players. But it is planned that Terry will play one half against Sweden.

Capello said on Saturday: 'We had a meeting with the FA on Friday. We spoke about John Terry. I think he is innocent until proven guilty. For this reason, I selected him.

'On Friday I told him I don't know if he will play [against Spain] because I want to see new players and he was happy. If he does not play, it is only for football reasons. I want to see [Joleon] Lescott, [Gary] Cahill and [Phil] Jagielka play at the top levels.'
