Capello returns to rule on Terry’s captaincy

England coach Fabio Capello has returned to the country to determine whether John Terry can remain captain of the national team amid a sex scandal.



Capello refused to answer reporters\' questions about Terry\'s future today as he returned to London\'s Heathrow Airport from Switzerland, where he has been recovering from a knee operation.



Capello is set to meet Terry tomorrow for the first time since allegations were made that the defender had a relationship with England teammate Wayne Bridge\'s former partner.



Ahead of the World Cup later this year, the Football Association has left the final decision on the captaincy to Capello.
