David James to replace Robert Green?

James to replace Green?

Posted: 2010-06-18 12:19

England manager Fabio Capello is set to name David James in goal for the game against Algeria in Cape Town on Friday and drop Robert Green, Goal.com understands. 

The news comes after bookmaker William Hill stopped taking bets on who Capello's likely first choice keeper would be after a flurry of wagers were received.

 
Capello was reported on Thursday as being in the process of assessing Green's mental state with a view to seeing how the West Ham United man had reacted to his game-changing blunder in the Three Lions' opening game against the USA.
 
However, there were also reports that Green had made another similar error in training on Thursday and it would seem that Capello has decided to act ruthlessly.
