Rio Ferdinand to be dropped from England squad

Rio Ferdinand

England boss Roy Hodgson will drop Rio Ferdinand from England's Euro 2012 squad, while John Terry stays.

Hodgson will name his squad for this summer's tournament in Poland and Ukraine on Wednesday afternoon.

It means former captain Ferdinand probably won't play for England again as he's now 33 years old.

Another former captain and defender John Terry looks like he'll keep his place, while Spurs' Kyle Walker could miss out because of injury.
