Capello: Players not distracted
England boss Fabio Capello insists his Chelsea players will not be distracted by news of the club facing a ban signing players for the next two transfer window.[LNB] The Blues were found guilty by football's governing body for inducing former Lens winger Gael Kakuta to breach his contract with the French club so he could complete a switch to Stamford Bridge. Capello has Chelsea players John Terry and Ashley Cole in his squad ahead of the friendly against Slovenia and the World Cup qualifier against Croatia.[LNB] When asked if they would be distracted, Capello said: "No. All the players are focused on the next game. I haven't spoken to the Chelsea players about this."[LNB] Skipper John Terry admitted his surprise at the news received at Stamford Bridge.[LNB] "It was a big shock," he said. "I spoke to the club this morning and they are appealing."[LNB] Terry admits the England players are relishing the Croatia clash - when they could seal a place at the World Cup - as well as the Slovenia friendly.[LNB] Croatia dumped England out of Euro 2008 qualifying on their last visit to Wembley.[LNB] "It's difficult not to think about it but the manager has emphasised the game on Saturday to get the best out of Wednesday," he said.[LNB] "It was a disappointing night the last time they were here and that is in the back of our minds. But we don't go in with a revenge mentality.[LNB] "It's a chance to put things right where we left off last season."
