Contrite England defender John Terry was first out on the training ground this morning as the Three Lions tried to refocus minds ahead of their must-win World Cup clash with Slovenia on Wednesday.
Terry has endured a difficult 24 hours after taking the option of raising a number of grievances within the England squad in a public forum on Sunday rather than behind closed doors.
Fabio Capello accused Terry of making ‘a very big mistake’ in his choice of how to address the issues that have arisen.
The Italian clearly has little sympathy for a group of players who are believed to be unhappy at the monotonous regimentation of life at their Rustenburg training camp.
Capello has stated ‘this is the World Cup, not a holiday’, a statement that is sure to find approval among the many millions of fan who have been left aghast at England’s disappointing performances in their opening two games.
With a so-called rebel gang of nine distancing themselves from the former skipper, Terry took the option of offering his apology to Capello.
