Capello prefers patched-up Jags

Everton defender to undergo toe injection to face Spain
Phil Jagielka is likely to have an injection in his broken toe to enable him to play in England's friendly with Spain after Fabio Capello indicated that he wants to pair the Everton defender with Joleon Lescott.

Captain John Terry will play no part in the match and reports say that Jagielka is willing to have the pain-killing jab so he can answer his country's call, though that surely won't go down well with David Moyes.

The Everton boss has had to shuffle his central defence recently because of injury to Sylvain Distin and he likely won't be pleased that one of his first-choice centre-halves is being forced to play through an injury for a meaningless friendly.
