Terry's out, now Gerrard also out for England.
-
England captain John Terry is to have a scan on his foot to determine whether he can join up with the squad for the friendly with Germany.
Terry suffered the setback during the second half of Chelsea's 3-0 win over West Brom at the Hawthorns on Saturday and had to be substituted in the closing minutes.
Capello is already resigned to be without his other first choice central defender in Rio Ferdinand, who was withdrawn after Manchester United's 5-0 win over Stoke at Old Trafford.
Terry is desperate to play against Germany in Berlin after being forced to withdraw from the squad for the double World Cup header with Kazakhstan and Belarus last month.
"I got shoved when in the air and landed awkwardly. It felt like a sharp pain in the bottom of my foot which is throbbing at the moment," he said.
"But I will have a scan tomorrow and hopefully it will give me the all clear. I am desperate to go away with England for the game with Germany. I have not been ruled out.
"I hope the scan gives me the all clear to go away. With me having to pull out of the last squad, I am desperate to play. As England captain, I want to be there."
Blues manager Luiz Felipe Scolari could offer no more positive news on Terry's injury.
"I am not the person to give the answer regarding John Terry but the doctor said tomorrow he will go to the hospital and have a scan," said the Brazilian.
"If he is fit, he will play out of respect for the national team. If he is not fit, Capello will have a look and not play him. If he is in good condition, he needs to play."

Injured Gerrard out of Germany game
England will be minus Steven Gerrard for next week’s friendly international against Germany after the midfielder injured his thigh in Liverpool’s 2-0 win at Bolton on Saturday.
Gerrard suffered a tear to the adductor muscle in his right leg and will be unable to play for at least seven days, making him a doubt also for The Reds’ next Premier League game against Fulham.
Liverpool FC spokesman Ian Cotton confirmed: "Steven picked up an injury in yesterday's game at Bolton.
"A scan this morning has confirmed a tear in the adductor magnus muscle in his right leg, and he is expected to be out between seven to 10 days."Gerrard is the third influential player already out of England’s game in Berlin, with the injured Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney not included in the squad named by Fabio Capello on Saturday.
Captain Terry would become the fourth, if, as expected, a foot injury sustained while playing for Chelsea at West Bromwich Albion precludes his involvement.
