England coach Roy Hodgson says they have enough cover at the back without having to recall Chelsea captain John Terry.
Hodgson claimed he would rather "keep moving forward" than coax Terry from his self-imposed international exile.
"John retired a long time ago, right at the start of our qualifying campaign," said England boss Hodgson.
"We've played nine games without him and we've qualified without losing a game.
"Gary Cahill and Phil Jagielka have done a good job at centre back and Chris Smalling showed against Germany that he is a very good centre back in the making.
"Phil Jones didn't get so much of a chance to show what he can do, but he is there as well.
"So I think it is time for us to keep moving forward and not every time we lose a game start to turn back to someone who has been a fantastic player in the past.
"Who knows, if John had played maybe he wouldn't have had a good game. We don't know that."
