No World Cup guarantee for Carragher

ENGLAND defender Jamie Carragher has dismissed suggestions he has been guaranteed a place in Fabio Capello’s final World Cup squad.

Carragher was a surprise name in the Italian’s 30-man training party, having retired from international football in 2007, but with a number of central defenders either short of fitness or out of form he could be included.

The Liverpool stalwart returns after three years in the wilderness having been frustrated under former manager Steve McClaren, and has been widely tipped to be named in the 23-man squad for South Africa this summer.
