Rio Ferdinand has been taken to hospital after suffering a knock to his knee in training.
On a day that saw all but David James train in South Africa, including Gareth Barry, this isn't the most positive news to come from South Africa.
Initial concerns are focused on the ligaments in the left knee and every precaution is been taken.
If the injury is serious, Capello has until 24 hours before the first game to replace Ferdinand. No replacements to the squad can be made after this time. Ferdinand is on his way to a local hospital by ambulance.
The injury happened as Ferdinand was turning after a tackle. The news was passed on by Capello who was talking at a press conference at the England training camp. There will be no further comment from the Italian without seeing the results of the scan.
David James didn't train with the rest of the players, instead he spent time in the gym.
