Heskey snubs Capello
October 3rd, 2010 - 3:03 pm ICT by ANILondon, Oct 3 (ANI): Aston Villa striker Emile Heskey has snubbed England coach Fabio Capello by not responding to his emergency call to appear for next week’s Euro 2012 qualifier.
Heskey was involved in talks with Capello last week about coming out of international retirement.
He quit international football after the World Cup in South Africa, but was tempted by the prospect of a one-off return for next week’s clash with Montenegro, News of the World reports.
Capello, who will name England squad on Monday, wanted Heskey back in the team for just one game.
Heskey feared a backlash if he returned for one game and then went back into retirement. (ANI)
