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.
