With Gareth Southgate and full back Franck Queudrue both back in training things were looking brighter, although both most be doubtful for Sunday.
Michael Reiziger will be out and Ugo Ehiogu now has a back injury.
So that could be Steve McClarens first choice back four ruled out.
In midfield Ray Parlour has a knee injury and up front Mark Viduka is suspended.
So a possible team could be:
Schwarzer, Parnaby, Riggott, Cooper, McMahon, Mendieta, Boateng, Doriva, Zenden, Hasselbaink, Job
