Chelsea defender Cahill desperate to reach World Cup

Chelsea defender Gary Cahill is desperate for England to qualify for the World Cup.

Failing to qualify for the World Cup would no doubt be branded a disaster for the country, and it is something that Cahill himself does not want to happen because he had to withdraw from Hodgson's Euro 2012 squad because of a jaw injury.

"This would be the first opportunity for me to play in an international tournament for England," the former Bolton man said.

"It would be a career highlight for me to play in the World Cup so I am really hungry to get there. I am desperate to get there and I hope we can."
