Leeds defender Rio Ferdinand has been forced to withdraw from England's squad to face Italy at Elland Road next week.
Ferdinand has been struggling with a knee injury sustained in training earlier this week.

"Rio Ferdinand is going for a scan on his knee later today," said Leeds manager David O'Leary.
