Terry will play; Lampard confirmed out

Fabio Capello is confident John Terry will be fit to skipper England against Brazil on Saturday.

But Frank Lampard is set to miss up to three weeks with a thigh injury.

Terry emerged as a doubt for the Doha friendly after sustaining a knock to his ankle in training and was not present at a scheduled media briefing at the Ritz Carlton Hotel this morning.

England boss Capello said: "He was running on his own and twisted his ankle. I am confident he will be fit for Saturday.

"The doctors think so but I won't take a risk. If he is not fit, he will not play."

Lampard sustained a thigh injury in training yesterday and flew home on Thursday night.
