Terry ruled out of Moscow mission

Steve McClaren says England captain John Terry is "almost certainly out" of Wednesday's Euro 2008 qualifier with Russia due to a knee injury. The Chelsea skipper, who had recovered from the knee problem that kept him out of Saturday's 3-0 victory against Estonia, suffered a locked knee training in Moscow on Tuesday.
Head coach McClaren said: "John Terry is almost certainly ruled out of tomorrow's match. His knee locked towards the end of training and he could not complete the session."
Portsmouth centre-back Sol Campbell is likely to fill in once again alongside Rio Ferdinand, having impressed on Saturday.
And Everton's Joleon Lescott has been tipped to start at left-back, ahead of Nicky Shorey and Phil Neville, following Ashley Cole's injury setback.
