Everton FC's Phil Jagielka celebrates _300
Jamie Carragher, who effectively took Jagielka’s place in South Africa, was asked yesterday if he had received an emergency call from Fabio Capello.
“No, England will be alright,” he said.
“I think Jagielka is a great player, Dawson has done great for Tottenham and Upson is back in the squad now.”
Jagielka returned to training with the Three Lions squad only yesterday after sitting out sessions earlier this week with an ankle knock he sustained in Sunday’s 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa.
And manager Fabio Capello said: “He’s fit and trained well. The pain is a little better and tomorrow he will be at 100 per cent.
“I'm not concerned but I know the players I select tomorrow will play for the first time together. I hope they will be really focusing every moment of the game and Ashley Cole and Glen Johnson will help these players.
“The keeper Joe Hart, and Wayne Rooney, Steve Gerrard, Gareth Barry, Cole, Johnson and Jagielka, yes. I know 10 or 11 who will play, with a little confusion about one wing.”
