Replacement candidates Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney have all reportedly expressed privately they would be uncomfortable assuming the captaincy if Capello decides to sack Terry.

The Chelsea defender has drawn heavy criticism following an alleged affair with a former partner of international team-mate Wayne Bridge, with numerous calls for the player to be stripped of his captaincy.

Capello claimed he is up to speed with all the details of the story and is preparing to meet Terry at the end of the week to decide his fate.
