Planning ahead: Manager Fabio Capello (2nd right) plots how to beat Sweden

Against Sweden at Wembley tonight, Terry will lead out his country as skipper for the 34th time, matching Alan Shearer. Only Bobby Moore, Billy Wright, Bryan Robson and David Beckham have captained England on more occasions.

'Nothing's changed,' said Terry. 'I'm fine, 100 per cent, no problems. It's been nice that the players have supported me publicly and personally. I don't want to talk about people individually but, from across the world, players and

managers have been on the phone and been very supportive of me.'

England fans gave Terry a mixed reception as he warmed up on the touchline with the other substitutes during the Spain game on Saturday. There were a few boos but there was plenty of applause.

'I'd always get a couple of jeers regardless,' said Terry. 'I was quite happy with that. I didn't know what to expect. It's nice to get applauded by the fans.
