Capello confident Chelsea fullback Cole will make World Cup

England boss Fabio Capello expects Chelsea fullback Ashley Cole to be fit for the World Cup.

The Chelsea defender is sidelined with an ankle injury but Capello is optimistic his first-choice left-back will be fit for the tournament.

Capello said: "I spoke with (Chelsea manager) Carlo Ancelotti and our doctors spoke with Chelsea's doctors. We hope he will be fit in two months, more or less, and I think he will be ready for the World Cup."
