Fabio Capello has taken aim at David James’s England career and fired a warning shot, making it perfectly clear the long-time England #1 will have to prove his fitness in order to earn another shot at England’s goal. He has not started for England since April 1st, due to a long-lasting shoulder injury.
The recuperation period has left Capello impatient for a better display:
“I spoke with David James but he needs time (to recover) after every game,” said Capello. “Every time he plays, he can’t train for two days afterwards so we preferred that he stayed at home. If he is fit, he will probably be with us (in South Africa). But if I choose the players they have to be fit – he has to be fit.”
