Luke Young has announced his retirement from international football after rejecting the chance to replace Glen Johnson in the England squad for this weekend's game with Brazil.
The Aston Villa ace, who has only recently returned to action after injury and personal problems, was offered the chance to link up with the Three Lions for the glamour game with Brazil after Liverpool's Johnson
was forced to pull out of the squad due to injury.
However, Young
has snubbed the overture from manager Fabio Capello
and has decided to quit the international scene.
The 30-year-old has made the decision to quit England to focus on playing for Premier League outfit Villa.
The former Tottenham and Charlton defender won seven caps for England, with his last appearance coming against Argentina in 2005.
The loss of Johnson leaves England with Wes Brown
as the only recognised right-back in the squad for the game with Brazil.
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
I thought this was a joke when i first heard it
