Players who will miss Brazil 2014

Ashley Cole- England has retired from international football after being told he would not be in England's -World Cup squad. Chelsea left-back Cole, 33, has struggled for playing time with his club this season, with Spaniard Cesar Azpilicueta having been preferred by Jose Mourinho. Although he has been involved more towards the end of the campaign, Cole has been supplanted by Everton's Leighton Baines and, most likely, Southampton teenager Luke Shaw. The decision brings an end to a lengthy international career for Cole, who made his England debut against Albania in 2001 and has won 107 caps since. I got the call from Roy and agree England team should be about the young players. I think it best I retire from England team now. Cole, who is out of contract this summer as well, wrote on his Twitter feed: "I got the call from Roy and agree England team should be about the young players. I think it best I retire from England team now.
