After introducing half a dozen youngsters into his squad for the November defeat to France, even more possibilities have opened up thanks to last night's win in Denmark.

Although Jack Wilshere and Andy Carroll remain the most likely newcomers to force their way into Capello's plans on a regular basis, options are starting to emerge in many areas.

Where once John Terry and Rio Ferdinand had no realistic rival for their central defensive berths, now Michael Dawson, Gary Cahill, Phil Jagielka and Joleon Lescott are experienced international performers.

In midfield, Wilshere can scrap it out with Gareth Barry for the holding role with the debate no longer automatically about how to accommodate Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard in the same team, more whether Capello has to.

England travelled to Copenhagen without the injured Adam Johnson, but came away with a win despite also eschewing the services of Aaron Lennon and Shaun Wright-Phillips, two players who went to the World Cup in the Manchester City man's place.

Up front, Darren Bent has scored two goals in as many England appearances this season, but still cannot be considered an automatic pick as he fights off challenges from Carroll and Jermain Defoe.

Even Wayne Rooney's position is no longer guaranteed following Ashley Young's second-half cameo, while Peter Crouch, missing with a back problem last night and someone Capello has always given the impression he would be happy to drop at the first available opportunity, is now looking very vulnerable.

Capello has to wait five weeks before England reconvene ahead of the Euro 2012 qualifier with Wales in Cardiff on March 26, and the rather strange friendly with Ghana three days later.

But if he is lucky with injuries the Italian faces a few dilemmas - and he cannot wait.

"I hope it will be difficult for me," he said. "It means there are new possibilities. It means we are really strong. It means I have decisions to make.

"I just want them in the same physical situation as they are now because everyone could see those who were here were in the top physical condition."

Capello must surely harbour doubts over the status quo remaining.

After all, when his squad gathered last year for a March friendly with Egypt, he soon discovered the fire had started to die and the arduous domestic campaign had begun to take its toll, ultimately leading to a ruinous World Cup.

Before the Wales game, representatives of Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham have two intense Champions League games to play, while Liverpool and Manchester City could have four Europa League matches.

In addition, all but Tottenham remain in the FA Cup and Chelsea and City still require replays to reach the fifth round.

Arsenal have a Carling Cup final too, all on the back of the busy Christmas period, when the rest of Europe had their feet up.

"We have to wait to decide which players will be fresh for Wales," added Capello, who made a similar point specifically about Wilshere's chances of retaining his starting berth at the Millennium Stadium.

Wilshere did okay on his first start. Of his talent there is no doubt and, at 19, it is stating the obvious that he still has much to learn.

But, after being lauded, amongst other things, as England's answer to Claude Makelele by Capello, it is undeniable that Wilshere did not screen the defence as he was supposed to, contributing in part to the dazzling performance of fellow wonderkid Christian Eriksen.

"Wilshere is really young. He has to learn and he has to improve," Capello said.

"It is not easy to find a player who can play with so much confidence in the first game you start for the national team."

Wilshere now has a title to help Arsenal try to win. He has a cup final against Birmingham and two matches against Barcelona from which, win or lose, he should learn so much.

"I don't know what will happen over the next month but certainly, the games against Barcelona will be really strong," Capello added.

"It will be really interesting for me to see what happens, just as it was really interesting for him to play against Denmark.

"They played a lot of passes and had a lot of ball possession, a bit like Barcelona. But the quality of Barcelona is a little bit higher."
