MOSCOW, Russia -- England captain John Terry looks set to play in his side's Euro 2008 qualifier against Russia after flying to Moscow with the rest of the squad on Monday.
Terry, who has been playing with a protective mask because of a cheek injury, is likely to face Russia.
The Chelsea central defender, who missed Saturday's 3-0 win over Estonia with a knee injury, returned to training on Monday morning and was given the all-clear to travel for a match which offers England the chance to seal their place in next year's finals.
Provided he suffers no reaction, Terry will return to the center of defence alongside Rio Ferdinand for Wednesday's match on the plastic pitch at the Luzhniki Stadium.
"John Terry will continue to be monitored by the England medical staff and assessed for any reaction," said an England spokesman.
A win for England would ensure they qualify for the finals in Austria and Switzerland.
A draw would leave them needing a point from their final qualifier, at home to Croatia next month, while a defeat would leave Russia as favorites to qualify along with the Croatians. E-mail to a friend
