Jamie Moralee, the managing director of New Era Global Sports Management, which represents the defender, and his brother Anton, said: “Lampard, Terry, Barry, Gerrard: all ageing but they [were picked to] go to the tournament. Why is Rio different? To treat a player that has captained and served his country 81 times (in this manner) is nothing short of disgraceful. Total lack of respect from Hodgson and the FA as far as I am concerned.”
Ferdinand was snubbed again by Hodgson on Sunday after Gary Cahill was ruled out of the squad for the Euro 2012 finals having suffered a double fracture to his jaw. As expected, Hodgson called up Liverpool’s Martin Kelly to replace Cahill, who was injured when he was pushed into goalkeeper Joe Hart by Belgium’s Dries Mertens during Saturday’s final warm-up match at Wembley.
