In all honesty, Rio doesn't deserve to be in the squad.
Also, I hope that Roy starts with Richards ahead of Glen.

He's played pretty much constantly since the start of the season. Certainly since Vidic got injured.George wrote:Theo Filippo wrote:Yeah being one of the best defenders in the league this season definitely doesn't deserve a call up.
Hasn't he been injured for most of the season.
Well, that's what I thought.

It's obvious that he simply is not good enough, and has been outclassed by Richards and, in particular, Glen all season long.

Ferdinand out and Carroll in: Hodgson names first squad
Roy Hodgson is expected to make a number of changes for his first England squad today, with Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand the biggest casualty. The 33-year-old's club manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, has expressed doubts over Ferdinand's ability to play tournament football, advice that Hodgson has listened to. The manager also felt he could not select both Ferdinand and John Terry, who faces a July court case for allegedly racially abusing Ferdinand's brother, Anton.
Liverpool forward Andy Carroll is included in the 23-man squad for next month's European Championship, with Stoke's Peter Crouch missing out. Tottenham's Kyle Walker is out through injury, while fellow right-back Micah Richards has not been included either. A number of players, including Everton defender Phil Jagielka, have been put on standby, and will train with the squad next week and travel to Oslo for a friendly in Norway.
Hodgson has also cancelled England's planned training camp in Malaga next week in favour of allowing his players to spend more time with their families before the tournament. MORE
