Jagielka to play through injury

Everton defender Phil Jagielka has informed Fabio Capello that he is ready to play for England against Spain despite suffering with a toe injury.

The 29-year-old missed training with the squad yesterday as he continues to deal with that injury that he has been suffering with since last month.

The centre-back is expected to numb the pain with injections, which will enable him to play against Spain tomorrow.

"He played normally today," said Capello. "I spoke with him. I asked him if he is ready to play. He told me yes."

The Three Lions will take on the European and world champions at Wembley tomorrow.
