Reports over the weekend, was that Baldini has told Rio he woud keep the job when he returns... Reports saying this afternoon that Terry will become Captain again..... Surely you didnt miss these reports.
RIO FERDINAND was told last night: You are still England captain.
The Manchester United star contacted assistant boss Franco Baldini to clarify his position.
He was alarmed by claims he could lose the skipper's job permanently to John Terry.
Baldini told Ferdinand it was all a misunderstanding.
An England source revealed: "Rio had a conversation with Franco Baldini and was reassured that he would continue as captain once he is fit again. Baldini was quite clear about his position."
But Terry, sacked as captain over his alleged affair with Wayne Bridge's ex-girlfriend, is set to assume temporary command.
He has been pencilled in to lead the team in the Euro 2012 qualifier against Wales in Cardiff on March 26, with Ferdinand likely to miss out through injury.
That will not impress Frank Lampard, who took charge for last month's friendly in Denmark.
Boss Fabio Capello has said the pecking order is Ferdinand, Steven Gerrard - also out injured - and Lampard. But the Italian now feels Terry can assume the captain's role again
