England boss Steve McClaren will omit the Chelsea star from his first XI for the second time in a week and stick with Gareth Barry and Steven Gerrard in the centre of a four-man midfield for tomorrow's clash in Moscow.

Missing out: Frank Lampard looks downcast yesterday and seems unlikely to walk back in to the starting line-up tomorrow

McClaren was expected to change his formation to 4-3-3, with Lampard returning to the midfield, but England trained on a plastic pitch in Macclesfield yesterday with a 4-4-2 formation before later flying out to the Russian capital.

Joleon Lescott, who looked a little uncertain at times when he replaced the injured Ashley Cole against Estonia on Saturday, was at left-back in the session while captain John Terry, who missed the Wembley match with a knee problem, was back at the centre of defence alongside Rio Ferdinand.

Chelsea duo Joe Cole and Shaun Wright-Phillips were retained as the two wide players, while Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney continued up front in a 4-4-2 formation.

Russia coach Guus Hiddink is known to favour a three-man defensive style but, should England run out in the formation practiced yesterday, he would surely have to change to a flat back four to oppose two central strikers and wide men Cole and Wright-Phillips.
