England coach Fabio Capello admits he's furious with the FA for stripping Chelsea skipper of the England captaincy.

Capello has openly backed the Chelsea man, who on Friday learnt he will not captain his country at the European Championship.

"I completely disagree with the FA about the John Terry decision and I have told that to the chairman," Capello told RAI TV.

"The court will decide. It's going to be civil justice, not sports justice, to decide if John Terry committed that crime that he is accused of.

"I considered and still consider Terry as the England captain. I think we first should wait for the trial conclusion."
