England boss Capello to infuriate big four clubs

England boss Fabio Capello intends to select a full-strength squad for their dead rubber against Ukraine.

The Daily Mail says Capello is ready to risk the wrath of the leading Premier League managers by picking his strongest possible squad for England's World Cup qualifiers against Ukraine and Belarus.

With England already qualified for next summer's finals, some bosses will be hoping Capello rests players for the away game in Ukraine on October 10 and against Belarus at Wembley four days later.

But, as well as recognising his responsibility to protect the integrity of the competition - Ukraine can still qualify ahead of Croatia - Capello regards the games as an important part of his preparation for South Africa.
