McClaren puts faith in Campbell fitness

SOL CAMPBELL will return from international exile at Wembley today with England coach Steve McClaren confident the veteran defender’s body can take the strain of two punishing Euro 2008 qualifiers in four days.

Although John Terry’s knee injury has shown encouraging signs of improvement, the odds must still be against him being fit enough to make the journey to Moscow next week.

It means that not only will Campbell be required for today’s home encounter with Estonia, he may also be needed when England put their qualification hopes on the line against Russia next week.
