Manchester City midfielder Gareth Barry insists England's players are happy to play for Fabio Capello.

England play their first competitive international since their World Cup humiliation when they take on Bulgaria in their opening Euro 2012 qualifier at Wembley on Friday night.

Barry, who is one of 13 members of the coach's current squad who survived the failure in South Africa, said: "Everyone is right behind the manager.

"I firmly believe the players and manager can go on and do great things. He is still the man to take England forward."
