Man City fullback Bridge yet to commit to England return

Manchester City fullback Wayne Bridge is yet to commit himself to England's World Cup campaign.

The Daily Mail says Bridge is not yet ready to commit to England's World Cup plans in the wake of the John Terry affair.

Ashley Cole's broken ankle - which may yet force him out of the tournament this summer - has left Bridge as the senior left back available to Fabio Capello. But Bridge is still undecided over whether he is prepared to return to an England set-up including Terry, the former Chelsea team-mate who betrayed him with his ex-girlfriend Vanessa Perroncel.

He must make his mind up by the end of this month, when Capello names his squad for the March 3 friendly against Egypt. Capello will tell Bridge that if he turns down the offer of a place in the squad for the Egypt game, it will be very difficult for the England manager to pick him again. him to get back into the side in future.
