Chelsea's Terry out of qualifier with knee injury

The Chelsea defender was injured in training and after a scan was ruled out of the Group E game at Wembley.

The damage is not thought to be too bad and he could yet figure in Wednesday's encounter against Russia in Moscow.

Terry is likely to be replaced by Portsmouth defender Sol Campbell, who has not started a competitive game for his country in two years.

England coach Steve McClaren said: "He will remain with the squad and his injury will be assessed on a daily basis with a view to Wednesday's match."
