Rio Ferdinand, the new England skipper suffered a knee ligament injury at the end of training on Friday during England first full day in South Africa. It’s Heskey’s tackle that send him to a local hospital for a scan and it has been bad enough to rule Ferdinand out of the entire tournament.

What a heartache for him….

Then, a week after that… another blow for Manutd player – Nani, when he suffered shoulder injury also during training.

However, today we heard a great news for Patrice Evra when he has been named as France’s Captain. It is going to be the first time for Evra to captain France in any tournament but Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has given Patrice Evra the captaincy on numerous occasions this season in the absence of Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs, and Rio Ferdinand.

It is quite funny when Arsenal’s Captain has been reported by The Mail that he will boycott the media for the whole tournament due to his dissatisfaction with Evra’s captaincy. Hahahaha..
