Rio ruled out of World Cup

Knee injury forces the England captain out of South Africa.

England Captain Rio Ferdinand today suffered a left-knee ligament injury in training.

Further to a scan arranged by the England medical staff immediately after training on Friday afternoon, Rio has been ruled out for 4-6 weeks and will therefore unfortunately miss the World Cup.

Tottenham Hotspur's Michael Dawson has been contacted today and will fly to South Africa on Friday evening.

Steven Gerrard will lead the England team as captain in the tournament.

England Manager Fabio Capello said: "It is obviously bad news and everyone with the squad is very disappointed and sorry for Rio.

"It was an accidental injury in training, but had nothing to do with the pitch."

Official statement.

omg

King is going to get exposed HARD.

[Black Ant]

feel it for Rio.

[TF S4DK]

Should have happened to the real c*nt.

[MrJibbles]

Yeah Heskey was involved but it was a tackle by Rio, studs got stuck in the ground and a twist occurred.

[Lieutenant]

That's f*ck*ng pissed.

Think he's a big player for England on and off the pitch. Defoe said all the boys really lie and respect him

omg

King is going to get exposed HARD.

you mean king will be made scapegoat for terrys failings.

[TF S4DK]

Lampard vice-captain.

[A Bit Better]

BBC News are making Rio sound suicidal! Between Lampard's comments and his agent's he sounds depressed. Understandable but sh*t, do they have to put it out there like that.

[Badman]

omg

King is going to get exposed HARD.

you mean king will be made scapegoat for terrys failings.

And you know england are gonna look for a scapegoat for when they crash out. their arrogance is blinding

poor king

[TF S4DK]

Can't blame King, tbh bar a red card for a individual, Capello will take all the blame, or it will start the beginning of the public questioning of Capello anyway.

Heskey misses a chance last minute, Capello shouldnt have taken him... Bent would have scored that...

King gets injured, Capello shouldnt have taken him...

England struggle to have anyone from the bench to change it, Capello should have taken Walcott/Johnson...

Lampard and Gerrard cant play together... Capello should have known this...

Why hasn't Capello got a plan B when Rooney gets marked out of games...

[TF S4DK]

Better hope its Brazil, cos man will say well we wont face Brazil in the Euros.

[Guest Portuguese]

only way is if england just get balled by a top side like spain or brasil

Spain or Brasil ain't the only teams who can ball England!

[Lethaldabizzle2008]

What about Dawson imo opinion he deserves his call up and can hopefuly step up and raise his game, feel for Ferdinand though.

f*ck Carragher he makes stupid avoidable mistakes all the time, Do Not Want.

[Captain Planet]

Terry to show the world how sh*t he really is now.

Must be sweating.

[Gambino]

Robbens recovered from his 5 Week Injury already.

[MrJibbles]

Sounds like Robert Green will be in goal for the USA game.

[TF S4DK]

SMH. IMO he is 3rd choice, but that would mean James is probably that.

[Mr. Gayle]

King injured, out for WC

[TF S4DK]

Why did I put him in my Dream Team? Shouldve known better.
