Capello Tells Owen Hargreaves He Is Still Figures In England World Cup Plans

FOOTBALL - Owen Hargreaves has had his hopes raised for making the England World Cup squad after England manager Fabio Capello revealed that the Manchester United midfielder Hargreaves is still potentially part of his World Cup plans. However, Capello has warned Hargreaves that he needs to prove his fitness if he is to get on the plane for South Africa. "He has six months to recover his good form, but he needs to play," Capello said. "I will choose players that will be fit in May, the players that play all the games.”

The news will come as a boost to Hargreaves who has been out of action for the past 14 months, needing two knee operations along the way. However, should Hargreaves prove his fitness his availability for the World Cup in South Africa would provide a massive boost for Capello. Hargreaves was outstanding for Manchester United when they won the Champions League and Premier League in 2008, and Hargreaves was arguably England's player of the tournament at the last World Cup in 2006 in Germany.
