Fabio Capello isn't confident that England will get a result against Spain in this weekend's friendly at Wembley.

England boss Fabio Capello believes that his Three Lions will face a "tough test" against World Cup winners Spain at Wembley on Saturday.

The national sides go head to head in a friendly this weekend, in preparation for the European Championships next summer.

While the Italian admits that it will be difficult to overcome the Spaniards, he insists that England will try their "best" in London.

"We're playing Spain without any players!" Capello told Marca. "We're missing Rooney, Gerrard, Terry. We will do the best we can.

"Playing Spain at Wembley is a tough test. I'm going to give a run out to new and young players to see their potential. We're going to be under lots of pressure from our fans.

"Spain are the best team in the world. It's an important friendly."

Meanwhile, FIFA are still remaining firm on their decision to ban the England from wearing poppies during the match.
