Despite having been one of the best English players of the modern era, Cole’s form is dropping at just the wrong time and the 33-year-old has lost his place in the Blues team to Cesar Azpilicueta. Therefore selecting the veteran – no matter how much experience he has – is a risk by Hodgson if the team is looking to the future.
