Barry has made a quicker than expected recovery from the ankle injury he suffered on City duty at the start of May. Having been given a deadline of June 13, the day after the United States encounter in Rustenburg, to begin full training, the 29-year-old will start playing a major part in all sessions from now. However, coach Fabio Capello has already declared that Barry was unlikely to face the USA for fear of jeopardising his return to full fitness. And it seems the Italian has not changed his mind. ?I?ve been told I?m not playing against USA to give me more time,? Barry said. Capello looks likely to team Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard in central midfield on Saturday, with Joe Cole occupying the left side. What do you think?
