Capello opts for Crouch up front
Peter Crouch will lead England's attack in Wednesday's key World Cup qualifier against Ukraine at Wembley.
Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard are likely to play behind the lone striker in an injury-enforced reshuffle.
England coach Fabio Capello called up Aston Villa's Gabriel Agbonlahor on Tuesday after Tottenham forward Darren Bent injured a knee in training.
The Italian said: "I am sure that Crouch is the best forward I can put into the first XI."
Crouch has recovered from the dead leg he suffered in Saturday's 4-0 victory over Slovakia, while Rio Ferdinand is fit to partner John Terry in defence.
Ferdinand could have played against Slovakia but Capello decided not to risk the Manchester United man, while Shaun Wright-Phillips is also available after a minor ankle knock.
Rooney goes into the game on the back of winning the England player of the year fans' award for 2008 and will collect his 50th cap against Ukraine.
Bent, called up as a replacement after Emile Heskey suffered a hamstring injury against Slovakia on Saturday, was likely to be among the substitutes.
Carlton Cole, who replaced Heskey after 15 minutes on Saturday but lasted only 20 himself, is definitely out with a thigh problem.
Capello explained his decision to include Agbonlahor.
"I spoke with the assistant manager of Aston Villa and was told Agbonlahor had been training very well during the last two or three days," added the Italian.
He then revealed why he opted not to bring England's fourth highest goalscorer, Michael Owen, back into the squad.
"In every interview I said the door, for all the players, is open," he insisted.
"I chose Agbonlahor because he has played a lot of games. I respect Owen but I am focused on the game of football."
Ukraine, who are unbeaten in their three Group Six qualifiers to date, are expected to include former Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko in attack.
Shevchenko, 32, has only started two Serie A matches for AC Milan this season but is determined to make a mark in his first appearance at the new Wembley.
"This is a big game for us and I dream of scoring at Wembley because it would be my 40th goal with the national team," he said.
"The national team gives me an opportunity to do what I love doing, which is to play football. But for the national team coach it is not easy to put a player on the pitch who isn't playing."
