Wes Brown has retired from international football, the FA
have confirmed.
The Manchester United centre back, called up to the England
squad to face Hungary by Fabio Capello, has decided to call time on
his international career.
According to the Daily Mail, Brown, who missed the World Cup in
South Africa after breaking his foot in March, announced his
decision hours after Paul Robinson also told Capello he was no
longer available for the national team.
Along with Emile Heskey’s retirement earlier this summer,
Capello has now lost the services of 3 extremely experienced
players.
The BBC have suggested Brown told the England manager of his
decision at the team hotel in Watford.
The 30 year-old defender made 23 appearances for his country,
scoring once.
