Rio sweating over England place

(08-10-2010) Rio Ferdinand is sweating over selection for Fabio Capello’s England team, let alone the captaincy. The 31-year-old Manchester United star has not played for England since before the World Cup and has only just returned to the Red Devils team following injury. But with Everton centre-back Phil Jagielka impressing in the Three Lions past two Euro 2012 qualifying wins, it looks likely that Capello will stick with him and retain Steven Gerrard as captain for the clash with Montenegro at Wembley on Tuesday. Jagielka was the only centre-half to play both the full 90 minutes in the 4-0 win over Bulgaria and the 3-1 success in Switzerland last month. However, while Ferdinand may be a little short of match fitness his return to the United line-up has seen the Old Trafford side conceded zero goals in the two matches in which he has played.
