England will be without captain John Terry for Saturday's international friendly against Slovenia at Wembley Stadium.

The Chelsea defender's ongoing back complaint flared up at training on Tuesday and he will be forced out of the team for this weekend.

The move to keep Terry out of the Slovenia match is to ensure he is fit and ready to tackle Croatia in a World Cup qualifier next week.

England boss Fabio Capello called upon Bolton's Gary Cahill for cover and may hand him his first cap against Slovenia.
