Capello: We can cope with injuries

Fabio Capello insists he has enough strength in depth to ensure his impressive start to life as England manager continues, despite having to call on his fifth-choice striker for tonight’s World Cup clash with Ukraine.

When Darren Bent joined the casualty list yesterday and returned to Tottenham with a knee injury, Capello decided to place his faith in Peter Crouch rather than rip up his entire blueprint and shift Wayne Rooney out of his favoured position in the hole.
