The FA were prepared for England coach Roy Hodgson to take Chelsea skipper John Terry to the World Cup this summer, it has been revealed. The Daily Mail says Greg Dyke, the FA chairman, told Hodgson that if he wanted to pick Terry, who has been in outstanding form alongside Gary Cahill, then he would make it happen.
It was Hodgson's call that Terry should not be coaxed out of international retirement following his decision to step down on the eve of the Anton Ferdinand hearing, not that of the FA.
