Chelsea defender John Terry will not be considered for selection by England until he officially comes out of retirement, according to FA chairman David Bernstein.

Chelsea defender John Terry will not be considered for selection by England until he officially comes out of retirement, according to FA chairman David Bernstein.

The 32-year-old quit international football in September 2012 after the FA opened a disciplinary case against him for racially abusing Anton Ferdinand in 2011. He was subsequently banned for four games.

Bernstein said: "He's in retirement. He has not announced he's coming out of retirement — and if he did the initial decision would be down to the manager.

"John Terry has always taken his football very seriously. Therefore, I take his retirement seriously. Until I hear to the contrary, he stays retired."

Terry has made 78 appearances for England since making his debut in 2003.
