Glen Johnson is injury prone and Wes Brown has a broken foot but with all the other calamities that are befalling Fabio Capello, right back should still be the least of his worries.

Gary Neville's masterful performance against AC Milan last week showed he deserves a last shot at a World Cup and his brother, Phil, is bang in form at Everton.

Both of them are model professionals who would be an asset to the squad.
