England coach Fabio Capello has appointed the head doctor of the team to follow Rio Ferdinand, Wayne Rooney and other key players of his. Italian strategists want to make sure that they will heal, or at least injury problems are not inherent bad events continued when he was preparing a list of a focused team for World Cup campaign, including 30 people, will be submitted to FIFA on Tuesday next week.
Doctor Ian Beasley will evaluate physical condition of Ferdinand and Rooney during his work has been scheduled before United's training ground to In addition, Beasley will also consider the situation of Wes Brown and Owen Hargreaves, who could hardly be present in Capello's squad after injury problems recently. Other Beasley will also be watched closely from now until the season ends, including David James, Glen Johnson, Ledley King, Ashley Cole, Steven Gerrard, Aaron Lennon, Jermain Defoe and Bobby Zamora can both striker has played very well this season appearances for Fulham, the Premier League and Europa League.
England coach will request detailed reports from doctors about the strength of the team's players had a history of injuries this season. Ferdinand's two wounds, one in back and a calf, probably caused much worry for Capello. Manchester United midfielder, just to play in the team comes in 11 Premier League matches this season, could not recover in time to prepare for the World Cup.
If no recurrence of injury, Ferdinand will certainly be on the list is key to South Africa on 2 / 6, but his physical problems may entail different consequences in the selection of team Capello. Italian coach may consider King list 23 players for the World Cup final, but Tottenham defender also had a history of knee injury is quite serious.
Rooney is one other major concern for Capello and white fans. The most important striker has not played their full game for Manchester United since the ligaments in the first leg Champions League quarter-final encounter against Bayern Munich on 30 / 3. Rooney only played three games in six of MU in any recent tournaments, soccer matches and stay match not attend regular sessions with the team, but must file separately.
Beasley's report will have an important role when Capello on the preliminary squad list. 30 players called the first phase will participate in a training phase includes pre-World Cup friendly against Mexico at Wembley on 24 / 5, and Japan in Graz, Austria 6 days later, before closing the list Capello 23 people on 1 / 6.
Defense where there is continuing concern when Brown's physical condition and Joleon Lescott, who has been called into the team's official Capello quite often in the past 2 years, late season injury and risk will be excluded from the preliminary selection respectively. Brown not played a game since being fractured instep in Manchester as guests at the Wolves game on 3 / 3 and can take a formal position on the hand Phil Jagielka, the Everton defender. Lescott, ligament problems, absent from the 14 / 3 and King Michael Dawson may be a more feasible option for Capello.
However, the Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has confirmed on 3 / 5 that Lescott will recover promptly for their final two games in the Premier League this season, at home against Tottenham and West Ham on Sunday.
