Eriksson: I have complete trust in my players

SVEN-Goran Eriksson claims the trust in his players is unbroken after he absolved Rio Ferdinand and John Terry of any blame after a late-night incident involving the duo and hotel maintenance staff in La Manga.

Ferdinand and Terry were reported to have been playing pool in the Hyatt Regency Hotel in the Spanish resort at about 3.30am when an alleged dispute took place with two members of the hotel staff.

But Eriksson and the Football Association have played down the incident and the England coach is adamant the general standard of behaviour demonstrated by his players is "no different" to that in the rest of Europe.
