Terry, Cole out of England's squad against Belarus
14/10/2008 17:28
Due to injury, John Terry, Ashley Cole and backup goalkeeper Robert Green
have been ruled out of England's World Cup qualifying away game against Belarus
tomorrow.
Terry missed Saturday's 5-1 victory over Kazakhstan because of a
lingering back problem. Cole, who was booed by the England fans for a blunder
that handed the visitors their only goal, has picked up a hamstring
injury.
Green reported for training yesterday with soreness in his knee and
the team decided not to take him to Minsk for the game. Scott Carson, whose
blunder in England's 3-2 loss to Croatia last November cost the team a place at
Euro 2008, will be on the bench against Belarus.
Rio Ferdinand led England
for the game at Wembley and is expected to do the same in Minsk yesterday as the
team bids to make it four wins out of four in Group 6 play.
