Senior England players furious with Chelsea defender Terry

Senior England players are furious with Chelsea captain John Terry for talking "out of school". The Sun says many players are furious after the former skipper claimed they were ready to challenge boss Fabio Capello about aspects of his regime.

Terry, stripped of the captaincy by Capello, said yesterday that up to 10 of the squad had a meeting over a beer following Friday's dismal 0-0 draw with Algeria.

Players are angry the Chelsea star named individuals at Friday's impromptu meeting, including Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney and Liverpool's England captain Steven Gerrard. They strongly believe he talked "out of school".

Management and players dissuaded Terry from raising issues in last night's team talk as Capello went through a DVD of the Algeria game.
