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. (Sky Sports)
Reports suggesting that Fabio Capello is considering quitting his post at this mammoth retirement are of course completely false.

luke who? never was and never will be England class.
O’Neill is good at getting his players whoever they are to have problems with the England set up.
What is it he doesnt like about England? Or is he simply a bigot?
Good Luck Fabio, good bye Luke and God save the Queen.
