England boss Fabio Capello won't consider Tottenham defender Ledley King until he proves his long-term fitness, it has been revealed.

The Sun says King's England career is finished - unless he can regain full fitness.

The Spurs skipper is battling a knee injury which prevents him playing successive games. England boss Fabio Capello has decided the defender, 27, is not worth the risk as he plots his World Cup qualifying campaign.
