Gerrard has already been ruled out, according to a statement on Liverpool`s website, after suffering a minor groin injury at Bolton on Saturday.

But England coach Fabio Capello still made him travel to the team`s base in Watford, where he will be assessed by Football Association medical staff before a final decision on Gerrard's availability is reached.

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez is unlikely to be impressed with that but under FIFA rules Capello is perfectly entitled to have a look at the Reds captain, who would be an automatic choice to face the Germans if he was fit.

At least Terry does not have far to travel, although having stated on Saturday he was experiencing a lot of pain from the foot injury he sustained at West Brom, it was thought the Three Lions skipper would not be involved either.

However, the 28-year-old had a scan earlier on Sunday and the results made him feel it was worthwhile travelling to meet Capello, so at the very least, he must be rated less doubtful than Gerrard.

Terry's presence would be invaluable as without him, the captain's armband would presumably be handed to Frank Lampard or Gareth Barry who, with the exception of David James and Theo Walcott, are the only other members of what constitues England's first-choice side to remain involved.
