Ferdinand will make next qualifier
Rio Ferdinand will be fit and ready to face Croatia on Wednesday, coach Fabio Capello has confirmed.
Ferdinand has been ruled out of England's opening World Cup qualifier against Andorra on Saturday with a neck problem.
But the Manchester United star has assured Capello that it is not a serious problem.
"We won't be sure 100 per cent on Rio Ferdinand because he's not fit tonight," said Capello.
"He will not be in the first XI, for sure. He's the only one at this moment who's not fit.
"He will be fit for Croatia. He told me this is a normal injury for him. Usually it takes one or two days maximum. This time it's taking more."
