Israel's win over Russia on Saturday means England need just a draw at Wembley to secure a place in next year's tournament - and Gerrard, captain in the absence of John Terry, admitted hanging on for a favour from the Israelis had been a distraction.

But he said: "It was a difficult weekend when it wasn't in our hands. But as soon as we knew we had a lifeline we were 100% focused on the Croatia game. Now it's time to deliver on the pitch."

There had been reports Terry would have recovered from a month-long absence with a knee injury in time to play against the Croatians.

But Gerrard confirmed the Chelsea defender - who joined in training on Tuesday morning - would not be fit, although he will be at Wembley to support the team.

"I've spoken to John and he tells us he's not ready but he'll still be there and be a big help to all the players," he said.
