Bridge doesn't want to play for England
Soccer Betting Lines
02/25/2010 -
Manchester, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Manchester City left back Wayne Bridge
has said he does not want to be considered for selection by England.
The news means that Fabio Capello will not be able to include the former
Southampton and Chelsea defender in his squad for this summer's World Cup
finals in South Africa.
Bridge has made his decision after a relationship between his former partner
Vanessa Perroncel and Chelsea and England defender John Terry became public
knowledge.
Although Capello stripped Terry of the England captaincy, Bridge has said his
place in the squad has become "untenable and potentially divisive."
It is a major blow for England as first-choice left back Ashley Cole is
currently injured and Bridge was expected to replace him in next Wednesday's
friendly international against Egypt.
The 29-year-old issued a statement which read:
"It has always been an honor to play for England. However, after careful
thought, I believe my position in the squad is now untenable and potentially
divisive.
"I have thought long and hard about my position in the England football team
in the light of the reporting and events over the last few weeks.
"Sadly therefore I feel for the sake of the team and in order to avoid what
will be inevitable distractions, I have decided not to put myself forward for
selection.
"I have today informed the management of this decision. I wish the team all
the very best in South Africa."
