\n\t\t\t\t\"Fabio<\/p>\n

Barry will lead a second string England XI out at Wembley<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\t\t
<\/p>\n

England manager Fabio Capello has named Gareth Barry as captain for Tuesday’s friendly against Ghana at Wembley.<\/b><\/p>\n

Barry, 30, will lead out a much-changed side from the one that beat Wales 2-0 in a Euro 2012 qualifier on Saturday, with Andy Carroll starting up front. <\/p>\n

Capello re-instated John Terry as England captain last week and explained why he had spoken to Steven Gerrard but not outgoing skipper Rio Ferdinand. <\/p>\n

“Rio was captain, so I must meet him. Steve is only vice-captain,” he said. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Capello, who <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

admitted last week to making mistakes over the captaincy issue <\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

as he reinstated Chelsea’s Terry as skipper, added: “I hope I will speak with Rio next week.”<\/p>\n

\n

\t\t\tI respect the fans. It will be interesting for them to see players they don’t know well<\/b>
\n\t\t
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

England boss Fabio Capello<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Gerrard – who is injured and not on England duty – revealed that Capello had phoned him to explain the decision to hand the armband back to Terry, while Ferdinand – who is also injured – has had no contact with the manager. <\/p>\n

Capello said he will make “about seven changes” for the game against World Cup quarter-finalists Ghana and revealed his reasons for allowing Terry, Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole, Wayne Rooney and Michael Dawson to return to their clubs. <\/p>\n

“Some of the players have played a lot,” said Capello. “They should only play three games in eight days – I think four games in 10 days is too much. I respect the clubs and the players. <\/p>\n

“Joe Hart will play in goal, we will have Gary Cahill and Phil Jagielka at centre-back and Leighton Baines will play at left-back. Barry will be the captain and Carroll will play up front. <\/p>\n

“Scott Parker will play if he is fit but he has got a little problem. I will decide on Tuesday if he plays for 90 minutes or however long. <\/p>\n

“Barry has played all the games with me. He’s a really good player, a good captain and he’s also the player with the most England caps in the squad now.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
\n\t\t\t\t\"England's<\/p>\n

Wilshere impressed once again in England’s 2-0 win over Wales<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

Barry, who has 45 caps, admitted it would be a dream come true to lead his country out at Wembley. <\/p>\n

“Obviously it’s going to be a massive moment in my career,” said Barry. “I’m really looking forward to doing the job. <\/p>\n

“I will be the same player I always am. You don’t put the armband on and change. I’ve got experience of three years captaining Aston Villa and there is some extra responsibility, but I won’t change the way I play.” <\/p>\n

Wembley is expected to be a sell-out for the game, but Capello shrugged off the suggestion that some supporters would feel short-changed by the number of alterations. <\/p>\n

“I respect the fans, too,” he said. “There are a lot of changes, but it will be interesting for them to see some players who they don’t know very well and it will be interesting for me as well. <\/p>\n

“It’s really important for the players who come in to understand the spirit of the team. I hope on Tuesday we can take this spirit on to the pitch, the same as the first 30 minutes against Wales on Saturday.” <\/p>\n

Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere may keep his place in midfield for the game, with a potential row brewing over whether he should be made available for England’s European Under-21 Championship campaign in Denmark in June. <\/p>\n

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is likely to want Wilshere to have a rest in the summer, but the 19-year-old – along with Liverpool’s \u00a335m striker Carroll – is wanted by Under-21 coach Stuart Pearce. <\/p>\n

“This is international football and I want to play in any international football,” said Wilshere. “It’s up to Stuart Pearce and Fabio Capello. They will talk and see what’s best for me. <\/p>\n

“I always speak to the manager at Arsenal and I will again. I am sure Stuart and Fabio will talk to him as well.” <\/p>\n

Capello added: “Of course, I will support Stuart 100% if he wants to take them. I think those two players will be really important for the Under-21s, they can make the difference.”\n<\/p>\n
