Key England quartet miss training
Captain John Terry was one of four absentees from England training on Tuesday ahead of Saturday's World Cup qualifier against Kazakhstan. The Chelsea defender felt a niggle in his back during his side's 2-0 win over Aston Villa on Sunday and was reduced to gym work ahead of the Wembley tie. He was joined by club team-mate Ashley Cole, Manchester United's Wes Brown and Stewart Downing of Middlesbrough. However, all four are expected to take a full part in training on Wednesday. With Joe Cole out with a foot injury, it is believed Capello will ditch the plan of having a holding midfield and instead pair Steven Gerrard with Frank Lampard in central midfield. Theo Walcott is set to retain his place on the right after scoring a memorable hat-trick against Croatia last month. Emile Heskey is again expected to partner Wayne Rooney in attack although Capello also has the recalled Peter Crouch as an attacking option.
