Sol Campbell slams Fabio Capello over England World Cup omission
Sol Campbell has aimed a no-holds-barred salvo against Fabio Capello after the England manager left him out of his squad for the World Cup finals.
Campbell played well in Arsenal's defence in the second half of the 2009/10 Premier League season.
And he has hit out at the Three Lions boss for taking players like Matthew Upson and Jamie Carragher instead - especially as the latter came out of international retirement to play.
The Italian's decision to select injury-prone Ledley King looks to have backfired already after the Spurs centre-back was taken off just 45 minutes into his World Cup campaign with a groin injury.
And Campbell complained: 'I played my heart out for Arsenal and thought I was worthy of a chance with England, but it never came.
'Surely you pick people in the groove - and I was back in the groove, and I was fit.
'Instead, Capello picked a couple of half-fit players.'
Campbell also questioned Capello's thinking behind his selections, saying he found the manager's decision-making process confusing.
'I can understand if Capello was thinking 'this guy is for England's past' but then he went back for a couple of players who had retired from international football,' Campbell continued.
'That I couldn't understand if he wasn't interested in going back to me.
'Not only that, Capello has gone for one centre half who didn't have a very good season, and another who just missed out on relegation.
'I was really, really hurt to be totally overlooked without even having an opportunity.'
Campbell is currently considering a short-term offer from Celtic to play in Scotland next season, although it is thought Arsene Wenger is still considering offering him a deal to continue at Arsenal in 2010/11.
Nevertheless, the 35-year-old added: 'I wouldn't mind being out in South Africa with the England team. The way I have been playing for Arsenal, don't you think I should be? I do, for sure.
'I regret the fact that the England camp didn't think of me. I would have put my heart and soul into playing for my country again.'
