England vs Estonia: With or without John Terry?

England captain John Terry claims that he is fit enough to play the upcoming match qualifying stage of EURO 2008 against Estonia. Chelsea defender John Terry is ready to play the home match against Estonia next week despite his fractured cheekbone. England has to play another important match in the next week against Russia. So, it was earlier reported that Steve McClaren, the manager of England team would give his captain reset for the Estonia match ahead of the important match against Russia. However, Terry seems determined to appear against Estonia.

Sky Sports reported:
"My body is holding up fine," Terry, who has had to wear a protective mask for Chelsea, told the Daily Express.
"I am just delighted to be out there. I will do my best to make sure I am fit to be there week in, week out.
"We will have a chat, but it is all about England and what is best and right for the team, whether it is me, Rio (Ferdinand), Ashley (Cole) or Joe (Cole). We are all on bookings."

However, another experienced member of England, Sol Campbell said that he would be ready to fill the place of Terry. England manager has recently called him for the next two matches. However, his taking part now depends on the participation of John Terry. Let us see if England captain is taken for the final line up against Estonia. If not then, for sure, Terry will be gearing up for the important match against Russia.
