Rio Ferdinand is "very upset" over plans to reinstate John Terry as England captain, a source close to the player has told BBC Sport.
The Manchester United defender is the current skipper after Chelsea's Terry was stripped of the armband last year.
The source claimed England boss Fabio Capello has been persuaded to re-think his stance by "certain London-based media" close to centre-half Terry.
Capello's camp say no decision has been made but say Terry is being considered.
Capello is due to discuss the situation with Ferdinand before addressing the rest of his squad next week, when they meet up next for Euro 2012 qualifier against Wales in Cardiff.
Franco Baldini, Capello's number two, has already spoken to current England vice-captain Steven Gerrard about the situation.
