John Terry's attempts to highlight growing discontent within the England squad at a clear-the-air meeting on Monday night appear to have been quashed by coach Fabio Capello.
Although there has been no official statement on the discussion Terry was expecting to have in a pre-planned team gathering, reports have emerged suggesting Capello squashed the idea flat.
Rather than listening to what Terry had to say, it is claimed the revolt was headed off before it even got underway, on the advice of senior figures surrounding the England camp who feared Terry was not speaking for the whole team.
