Considerate Capello gives England players a break

Fabio Capello will give his England players three days off next week.
Capello begins his Euro 2012 preparations with the Wembley friendlies against world champions Spain on November 12 and fellow qualifiers Sweden three days later.
But instead of demanding that the squad he selects on Sunday night turns up at England’s Hertfordshire base the next day, Capello’s players do not need to arrive in Watford until Wednesday night.
It means the players will be free to rest after the weekend programme.
Capello and the FA believe the decision sends a signal to Premier League bosses that the Three Lions manager understands their concerns over the demands of the season.
