Support: England boss Fabio Capello had backed Terry

The FA had wanted to let the legal process take its course in the hope it would be completed long before England's first
Euro 2012 match, against France in Ukraine on June 11, so allowing them to leave all team decisions to Capello.

But the postponement of the trial, because of witness availability, has scuppered such hopes. FA board members are nervous. They fear that suspending Terry from international football, and so forcing him to miss Euro 2012, would set a dangerous precedent.

The FA came under more pressure to act on Thursday with Ferdinand's brother, Rio, appearing to be express his views on the situation in a cryptic tweet. He wrote: 'Morning world!! I feel insulted....woke up with a bad taste in my mouth ....its a god damn joke!'
