Hodgson agonising over selecting Chelsea captain Terry

England coach Roy Hodgson is agonising over whether to include Chelsea captain John Terry in his Euros squad.

The Daily Mail says Hodgson also wants to take Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand to the summer tournament.

Hodgson thinks it will be difficult to take both of them when Terry's trial for a racially aggravated public order offence that involves Ferdinand's brother, Anton, will not take place until after the tournament.

Terry strenuously denies racially abusing Anton at Loftus Road in October but Chelsea's request to Westminster Magistrates' Court to delay the trial until July has presented the Football Association with a huge selection problem.
