England may have to tear up their World Cup plans after news that the vital holding midfielder Gareth Barry is in danger of missing the competition. Early this afternoon Barry's club manager, Roberto Mancini, confirmed that Barry's sprained ankle is "not good" and that he may be out for four weeks. That would take his recovery right to the brink of the World Cup, which begins on 11 June. However, Mancini added that he was still "hopeful" Barry could make the tournament after limping out of Wednesday's defeat by Tottenham. "I feel very sorry for Gareth and I hope he can recover in time. But Fabio Capello and his medical staff must decide. He deserves to play in the World Cup."
