Man Utd defender Ferdinand dumped today as permanent England captain

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand is set to be dumped as permanent England captain today.

The Sun says Chelsea skipper John Terry will be restored as England's permanent captain today.

Three Lions boss Fabio Capello will announce his decision tonight.

Amazingly the Italian has still not told current skipper Rio Ferdinand that he has been dumped, despite a week of speculation that Terry had won back the armband.

Yet Capello hopes the Manchester United star will still agree to now become vice-captain.
