Fabio Capello turns into the tinkerman

FABIO CAPELLO will shuffle his pack for England's next game against Sweden on Tuesday.

The Three Lions shocked world champions Spain at Wembley, winning 1-0 thanks to Frank Lampard's goal.

But the result will not stop boss Capello from experimenting with his line-up.

Captain John Terry returns to the team and will be partnered at centre-back with Bolton defender Gary Cahill.

However, Capello was quick to praise Phil Jagielka and Joleon Lescott who impressed against the Spanish.

He said: "Terry and Cahill will play against Sweden but the two centre-backs played a fantastic game, really good.

"Every time Spain tried passes through they were in good positions. They played with big confidence.

"It is impossible to play well against Spain without confidence."

Strikers Daniel Sturridge and Bobby Zamora will also start along with Tottenham right-back Kyle Walker.

The Italian added: "I needed to know the value of the players when they play here at Wembley.

"This is big test for good players to play here."
