Capello unimpressed by Man City defender Richards

England boss Fabio Capello won't consider Manchester City defender Micah Richards for his World Cup squad, it has been revealed.

The People says Capello has serious reservations about Richards' tactical and positional play and although he has speed, strength and athleticism the Italian coach believes Glen Johnson and Wes Brown represent a far better bet at right back as main choices.

Indeed, the Italian won't consider the youngster until his game intelligence improves dramatically.
