GARETH BARRY will miss the World Cup with ankle ligament damage. England boss Fabio Capello says the midfielder's injury will not heal in time. Capello said: "It is too long."
That means Owen Hargreaves is expected to be in the provisional 30 for next month's tournament when it is named today despite the fact he has played ONE MINUTE of football this season.
Joe Cole is also sweating on a place in the 30 and is likely to miss out unless medical reports are unfavourable to any other players.
Cole is no longer considered essential to the England cause.
Capello says he still has two positions in the provisional squad to decide on this morning
LIKELY SQUAD -
KEEPERS: Hart, Green, James, Robinson.
DEFENDERS: G Johnson, Jagielka, Ferdinand, Terry, Upson, Carragher, King, A Cole, Baines.
