BBC says Terry will not stand down as captain

6:44 am on 4 February 2010

John Terry will not offer to resign as England football captain ahead of a meeting with manager Fabio Capello.

They are expected to meet this weekend to discuss allegations Terry had an affair with a team-mate's ex-girlfriend.

The Football Association has made it clear Capello alone will decide the 29-year-old Chelsea defender's fate.

The BBC is reporting that Terry will leave any decision to the manager and will not offer to stand down as captain.
