Problems for Steve McClaren are increasing day by day. John Terry, the England captain, got injured during the last practice session before the Community Shield game against Manchester United on Sunday. Terry will certainly miss the start of the Premier League season and also England's friendly against Germany at Wembley on August 22, leaving Steven Gerrard to captain his country for the first time under Steve McClaren.England's scenario of qualifying for Euro 2008 has suffered a potentially severe blow after Terry tweaked knee ligaments during training on Saturday. The center-half is expected to be out of action for almost a month with medial ligament damage to his knee, leaving him in doubt for the next two decisive Euro qualifiers against Israel and Russia next month.
Absence of Terry may adversely influence England’s prospects in Euro 2008. The team, which desperately needs to win their next two qualifiers, has already facing a lot of injury problems. In addition to the Chelsea captain, other key players like Beckham, Owen, and Ledley King are having problems with their physical fitness. Jamie Carragher may also be unavailable as he is thinking of international retirement. McClaren plans to visit for Carragher for further talks with regards to reconsidering his position. England boss is also due to telephone his captain for a fitness update this week.
