Sol Campbell In England

England coach Steve McClaren has backed Sol Campbell to excel as replacement for injured captain John Terry in the Euro 2008 qualifier against Estonia.

Terry misses Saturday's game with a knee injury and is battling to be fit to face Russia in Moscow on Wednesday.

McClaren said: "It is good to be able to call up someone of Sol Campbell's experience and quality.

"He has been absolutely tremendous this season and I had no hesitation in bringing him back."

Campbell, 33, will be making his first England appearance since coming on as a substitute against Sweden in the World Cup 16 months ago and will win his 70th cap.

McClaren said: Sol's reaction to being left out was fantastic, as I knew it would be. He is performing well, has got great experience and will add to the team."
