Michael Dawson is on call for an England call-up following an injury to Rio Ferdinand.

The England captain suffered a knee injury during England’s first training session in South Africa and must undergo a scan.

Capello confirmed: “The bad news is in the last moment of the training, Rio suffered a problem with the knee.

“He has just gone to hospital for a scan. We hope it will not be so bad an injury but we have Michael Dawson on call.

“It came from a minor tackle during the training. How bad is it? We will have to wait and see.”
