DAILY TELEGRAPH: Fabio Capello has given the clearest indication yet that David Beckham has a long-term future in his England side by arguing that he can perform a similar job to the one that Cristiano Ronaldo has done successfully for Manchester United. Also: Three World Championship gold medals, two blistering world records and one of the more extraordinary 'sports' stories of modern times.

THE TIMES: John Terry has received assurances that he will be given an opportunity to assert his claim for the England captaincy under Fabio Capello and that he remains a leading candidate to take the job on a permanent basis. Also: Martin Taylor may have played his last game for Birmingham City as Alex McLeish, the manager, looks set to overlook the central defender and ask Franck Queudrue, a left back, to replace Liam Ridgewell, who is suspended, for tomorrow's game at home to Manchester City.

THE SUN: Michael Owen has lifted the lid on Fabio Capello's brave new England by admitting: We don't know what we're doing. Also: Rafa Benitez has been labelled 'inhumane' by Alvaro Arbeloa.

DAILY STAR: Fabio Capello amazingly insists David Beckham holds the key to England's future - by playing like Cristiano Ronaldo. Also: Croatian superstar Luka Modric is ready to join Chelsea.

DAILY MIRROR: Michael Owen and Fabio Capello were locked in a bitter dispute last night that threatens to end the striker's England career. Foul-mouthed Ronnie O'Sullivan's career was at a new crossroads last night after a crude four-letter outburst at the China Open in Beijing...Roy Hodgson has accused Jari Litmanen of lacking the same commitment to Fulham that he shows to Finland.

Also: Shane Warne yesterday retired from county cricket to spend more time with his family...England are refusing to put a date on Andrew Flintoff's international comeback.

DAILY EXPRESS: Fabio Capello has made the astonishing claim that David Beckham can be England's answer to Cristiano Ronaldo. Also: Ricky Hatton's dream of revenge over Floyd Mayweather could well materialise with talks already started on a blockbusting £50million return at Wembley Stadium...Kevin Keegan has pinpointed his first major signing of the summer - former Arsenal striker Jose Antonio Reyes.

THE GUARDIAN: Fabio Capello is intent on extending David Beckham's international career beyond 100 caps but retains serious doubts as to what role Michael Owen will play under his regime.
