Well we got that one wrong didn't we. It looks certain that Jags will partner his old mate Joleon Lescott at the heart of defence for England against Spain.

Capello said in his best English: "I always speak with the player and I ask, can you play? Are you 100% - not 90%, but 100%? Are you are ready? He said yes."
'Yes, I want to play.' I didn't say: 'You must play.' That's a big difference. We need to be clear."
"He said he's OK and said 'If you decide, I'm ready to play'.
"I have always done two things in my career before I decide about a player. I always speak with the doctors. I ask the doctor whether they can play or not. He says he can."
"After that, I decided to put the player on the pitch. I will decide but I asked the player to be clear.
