John Terry will not be making any public statements on his future as England captain until after a meeting with Fabio Capello.
The Three Lions and Chelsea skipper has been thrown into the centre of a media storm following a series of revelations over his private life.
Details of the centre-back's alleged affair with the former girlfriend of international colleague Wayne Bridge were disclosed last week, after a court injunction he had obtained was overturned.
This has led to frenzied reporting in the media and calls for his resignation as captain of his country from some quarters over his off-field antics.
Sky Sports News has learned Terry has no intention of relinquishing the armband, but the Football Association has already made it clear that any decision on his future as captain would be left to head coach Capello.
The Italian, known for his strict approach to team discipline, is due in England later this week before he travels to Poland at the weekend ahead of the draw for Euro 2012 qualifying.
Capello is set to meet with Terry at some point before next week, when he is set to decide on whether to appoint a new captain or not.
And Terry has made it clear that any communication over his role as skipper of England will come from Capello, the only man who will decide his fate.
Phil Hall, Terry's spokesman, said: "John Terry asked me to make it clear that he has made absolutely no statement about his future as England captain.
"He is keeping his own counsel until he speaks to England manager Fabio Capello and then Mr Capello will decide what announcement will be made."
