Rio in new injury scare

Rio Ferdinand's will have to wait to make his debut as England captain after re-injuring his back. He also looks set to miss the Carling Cup final against Aston Villa. According to reports, the Manchester United star felt a twinge in his back in training and Sir Alex Ferguson claims he will be out for at least a fortnight. "He had been training great, too, with no mishaps at all. But when you get these twinges, you can't take a chance,” revealed Ferguson on Tuesday. "He won't be ready for Sunday and unfortunately for him, he will miss a couple of games." England boss Fabio Capello will also be disappointed that he cannot anoint Ferdinand as his new skipper and finally draw a line under the John Terry affair. Steven Gerrard is expected to lead England against Egypt on Wednesday at Wembley.
