Plea: Terry has won 68 caps for the national side
John Terry has told
Fabio Capello he wants to lead England against Spain next week
despite being the subject of a formal Metropolitan Police
investigation into allegations of racism.
Terry, Sportsmail understands, has told the
England boss he is not guilty of racially abusing QPR’s Anton
Ferdinand and wants to play in the Wembley friendly against Spain
as well as that against Sweden three days later.
Capello plans to name Terry
and Rio Ferdinand, Anton’s brother, in today’s provisional squad —
not released publicly — but will seek advice from the FA about
including Terry in the final squad, to be announced on
Sunday.
The police confirmed they will
interview the Chelsea and QPR players who were in the vicinity of
the alleged incident on Wednesday.
