Former England boss Glenn Hoddle says Roy Hodgson will have found it difficult informing Chelsea ace Ashley Cole he won't be going to the World Cup. Hoddle wrote in the London Evening Standard: "Roy Hodgson broke Ashley Cole's heart earlier this week when he told him that he wasn't going to Brazil.
"You might think that is the hardest thing a manager could ever do but I found telling a group of Swindon kids that their time was up at the club even more disturbing.
"Yes, it was tough for Roy. Tough for Ashley, too. Irrespective of how many World Cups he has played in, how many times he has appeared for his country with such distinction, to be finally told he had failed to make the cut in the England squad was a devastating blow as the player himself publicly made clear on Twitter."
