Rio's row with Capello over as pair patch things up after captaincy controversy
Rio Ferdinand and Fabio Capello have resolved their differences over the England captaincy row.
The former skipper and the England manager shook hands and had a brief chat on Monday night after the squad met up at The Grove hotel in Hertfordshire.

Sportsmail understands Ferdinand, 32, was smiling and relaxed afterwards. He then joined his replacement, John Terry, at the front of a warm-up run at Arsenal's London Colney training ground on Tuesday morning.

Back in the fold: West Ham stopper Green answered an SOS call to replace Stockdale
Monday evening was the first time Ferdinand and Capello have met since the Italian's decision to strip the Manchester United defender of the armband in March.
The England boss did not speak to Ferdinand before announcing that Terry would replace him as the permanent skipper.
Michael Carrick is almost certainly out of England’s Euro 2012 tie against Switzerland with a hip injury.
