Gary Cahill Out for the Season

February 8th, 2010 | by: Daryl | View Comments

There had been some talk of Bolton’s 24 year old central defender Gary Cahill making a late run at England’s World Cup 2010 squad, but that’s finished now. Cahill has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a blood clot in his arm. Cahill is yet to make his full England debut but was called into Capello’s squad to face Kazakhstan in June, as a replacement for Rio Ferdinand.

Without labouring the point too much, Cahill’s pretty serious medial problem puts the whole John Terry thing into a bit of perspective. Here’s hoping Cahill recovers, plays next season, and makes his England debut sometime in the near future.
