Yep, more bad news for England footie fans. Our captain Rio Ferdinand is out of this year’s World Cup finals after sustaining an injury during training!!!!

Ferdinand suffered the injury in training yesterday morning and was sent straight to the local Netcare Fearncrest Hospital for a scan. Both doctors travelling with the England team assessed the severity of the problem and came to the same conclusion; the Manchester United man would play no part in the competition.

Tottenham Hotspur’s Michael Dawson was contacted and boarded a plane to replace the central defender. Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard will now lead the England team as captain.
