Chelsea fullback Cole blanked by FA over 100 England caps landmark

Chelsea fullback Ashley Cole faces being blanked by the FA as he approaches 100 caps.

Cole will become England's first centurion never to captain his country.

Left-back Cole has 98 caps but will not captain England when he makes his 100th appearance - and has made it clear he has no interest in being honoured with the armband.

The FA have no plans to mark the ­occasion of Cole's 100th cap - whether it comes against Poland later this month or at a future date, says the Sunday Mirror.
