Scotland face a tough qualifier against Norway but will at least know they have the better head-to-head record over the Scandinavians.

John Terry will miss England’s World Cup qualifier with Kazakhstan on Saturday after sitting out training again on Friday.

The Chelsea skipper has been struggling with he picked up in Chelsea’s UEFAChampions League draw away to CFR Cluj, but recovered sufficiently to take his place in Luiz Felipe Scolari’s side against Aston Villa last Sunday.

After confirming the absence of Chelsea skipper Terry, Capello placed his faith in whoever his replacement will be.

“It is a problem in the back for Terry,” he said.

“But we have plenty of players, we have the substitutes, I am sure the substitute of John Terry will play well.”

Everton’s Joleon Lescott started against Andorra earlier in the qualifying campaign, but was not even on the bench against Croatia when Ferdinand returned to the starting XI and West Ham defender Upson was named among the substitutes.
