A regular England starter, Gareth Barry has been ruled out for up to four weeks after damaging ankle ligaments in Wednesday's Premier League loss to Tottenham. England coach Fabio Capello has to select his provisional squad of 30 by Tuesday. Unable to add others before announcing his final squad of 23 by June 1, he now has to decide whether to include Barry.
Barry will miss England's pre-World Cup friendlies against Mexico and Japan, plus the squad's two training camps at altitude in Austria. With Barry now a World Cup doubt, there was speculation Saturday that Tottenham's Huddlestone and Manchester United's Hargreaves could be called up.
