John Terry no longer England captain

John Terry has been removed as England catpain by the FA as his racism row gets a court date in July.

Terry was contacted by Football Association chief David Berstein at 10am on Friday morning and informed of the FA board's decision soccernet reported. There has been no indication about his availability for selection for England duty.

The Chelsea captain has been accused of racially abusing QPR defender Anton Ferdinand but will not stand trial until July, after this summer's 2012 European Championship.

Chelsea manager Andre Villas Boas made it clear that he is unhappy with the way the FA handled with the Englan captaincy situation and that Terry's position as Chelsea captain remains unaffected.

Many are tipping Rio Ferdinand or Steven Gerrard to take over the captaincy with Gareth Barry an outside chance to be the new skipper.
