Terry almost certainly out of Russia tie

October 17, 2007 11:57 IST

England [Images] captain John Terry will almost certainly miss Wednesday's Group E Euro 2008 [Images] qualifier against Russia [Images], manager Steve McClaren said on Tuesday.

Terry, who missed the 3-0 win over Estonia at Wembley last Saturday with a knee problem, had earlier declared himself fit but locked his knee towards the end of an hour-long training session on the artificial turf at the Luzhniki Stadium.

McClaren, whose team will reach the finals in Austria and Switzerland [Images] if they beat Russia, said the Chelsea defender could not complete the session and is "almost certainly ruled out". Sol Campbell is again likely to deputise as he did on Saturday.
