Fabio Capello has refused to guarantee that Jamie Carragher will have a place in his final 23 man World Cup squad, even though the Liverpool defender has come out of international retirement and agreed to be part of a 30-man provisional team.

Capello said:

"He is one of the 30 players. During the training camp I will evaluate the performance of each player, after that I will decide. We started two months ago, we spoke with him, Franco Baldini met him two weeks ago and he was happy to stay with us and we decided to select him. I selected him because he is a really, really good player."

Fabio Capello also revealed that he had asked Manchester United's Paul Scholes to think about making a comeback but he turned down the request, Capello said "it was up to him, He said no, he preferred to stay with the family. But I tried, yes."
