Rio Ferdinand is believed to be infuriated with Fabio Capello for not informing him personally of the decision to reinstate John Terry as the captain of England.

The Manchester United defender is currently sidelined with a calf injury and could miss the remainder of the season, so the Three Lions boss decided to reinstate the Chelsea defender as skipper of the national team.

But it is thought that there has been no direct contact between Capello and the Manchester United centre-half about this.

The News of the World claims that 32-year-old Ferdinand is angry about his treatment and may even decide not to take to the pitch again under Capello’s management.

Ferdinand has made 80 appearances for England.
