Phil Jones and Joe Hart say that it is busines as usual in the England squad despite the John Terry race row.

Phil Jones has insisted that there are no issues in the England camp despite the race row surrounding John Terry.

Terry was picked for the England squad to face Spain and Sweden, despite being at the centre of allegations that he racially abused Anton Ferdinand during Queens Park Rangers 1-0 win over Chelsea last month.

"I don't know what goes through his mind," said the Manchester United defender.

"I look after myself and how I prepare for this game but I'll be pretty sure he'll be as professional as any footballer in preparing for this game.

"It is not a talking point I have been aware of. It's business as usual."

Manchester City keeper Joe Hart also said that the squad were united.

"I have not felt there are any issues," Hart said. "It's been dealt by the police so it's not for us to talk about.

"I can only talk for me but you've just got to concentrate on big games on Saturday and Tuesday. That's the only way to look at it."

England's captain to face Spain will be revealed later today (Friday).
