Capello fires World Cup warning at Portsmouth keeper James

England boss Fabio Capello has warned Portsmouth goalkeeper David James his fitness may work against him in World Cup selection.

Capello's view on players being ready for consecutive matches means he will also monitor James, who rests his knee after matches.

"He's playing well but his problem is he can't train for two days (after) each game," Capello said. "It's one problem we have to decide.

"I'm happy because (Ben) Foster played well, (Robert) Green plays well. And James has this problem and we have to decide what we'll do. I'm happy with the keepers, no problem."
