The Italian recalled Portsmouth keeper David James for his first game in charge against Switzerland earlier in the month, but at 37 he cannot be considered a long-term option.
And with former number one Paul Robinson not playing for Tottenham, Scott Carson being kept out the firing line following his performance in the defeat to Croatia and Manchester United's Ben Foster injured, the cupboard is looking bare for Capello.
He said: "Only 38 percent of the players in the Premier League are English. The pool is reduced. I have had to reinstate a 37-year-old goalkeeper but I have spotted one in the Under-21's who is very interesting."
Despite the restricted choice of players and an overbearing media, Capello insisted he has enjoyed his first few weeks in charge of the national team.
"Their culture is extraordinarily beautiful. The stadiums are always full, they give their utmost but it is always in the correct way. The referees let the game run in contrast to Italy where the play is constantly broken up," he said.
"But certainly the media pressure is heavy, particularly on the national coach," he joked.
