da roleta: Fabio Capello has revealed he knows the identity of 20 of the final 23 members of his England World Cup squad.
da betway: England take on Japan in a warm-up game in Austria on Sunday with Capello closing in on the make-up of his final squad for South Africa, which he will unveil on Tuesday.
The Italian has taken a 30-man preliminary squad to Austria for a pre-tournament training camp.
"I more or less know," he admitted."Not 23 but maybe 20.
"It will be disappointing when I have to tell some of the players that they must go home because all the players here have trained really well.
"I am really happy with their focus and the job they have done. But I have to choose."
Striker Darren Bent and midfielder Tom Huddlestone have been handed starting spots against Japan.
Fellow fringe members of the squad Michael Dawson, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Scott Parker are not included which could suggest they will not be part of the final squad.
One player Capello is hoping to include is Manchester City midfielder Gareth Barry.
Barry is currently sidelined with an ankle ligament injury but has been given every opportunity to prove his fitness before the squad is reduced to 23 men on June 1.
"Barry has improved a lot. The last news was good," said Capello.
"But we have to wait and see what the doctor says. After that, we will know if he will be fit in a short time and ready to train with us, or whether he won't be ready.
"He has to be able to train normally the day after the first game.
"He is doing a lot of physiotherapy to get the movement going and is following what the doctor says.
"But I don't know if he is running yet."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
