Arsenal legend Campbell critical of England World Cup squad

Arsenal legend Sol Campbell feels England coach Roy Hodgson has selected too many youngsters for his World Cup squad.

The former international said there was always room for youngsters to be blooded at major events, but that Roy Hodgson had gone too far with his 23-man squad for Brazil.

"Personally I think there are too many players who are a bit too young," he told Reuters.

"There are not enough of that middle group. It is a squad almost of young (players) and then a few 28-plus, 30, whatever... there is not that middle market which needs to be filled in."
