Chelsea winger Shaun Wright-Phillips is fit for England's friendly against Switzerland tomorrow night after training with the squad today.
Wright-Phillips sat out training on Monday but resumed training with the 22-man squad at London Colney this morning.
Fabio Capello announced at his press conference today that there were no more injuries in the squad and everyone was fit for his first game in charge.
The starting lineup will not be revealed until shortly before kick-off after the new manager revealed that he tells the players who is in the team on the evening of the game.
"It is my custom to tell the players the team just before we leave the hotel on the way to the ground," he said.
Emile Heskey and Gabriel Agbonlahor will miss out on a starting berth through injuries and Jermain Defore has been called up as a replacement after scoring on his Portsmouth debut at the weekend.
Capello held a press conference this afternoon and refused to speak to journalists in English, even when questioned in Italian, because he did not want his comments to be taken out of context.
But he did reveal that his team understands him and he talks to them in English.
