Stuart Pearce: 'Roy Hodgson not averse to recalling John Terry for England'

Stuart Pearce says that England manager Roy Hodgson is not "averse" to recalling Chelsea defender John Terry

Former England Under-21 manager Stuart Pearce believes that Roy Hodgson would not be "averse" to recalling John Terry to the Three Lions setup.

The 33-year-old retired from international duty 18 months ago, but some have called for an England return due to his positive form for Chelsea this season.

"Whether people think John has had his day, there's one person who picks the squad and only the manager will decide that," Pearce told talkSPORT.

"The one thing Roy does is back his senior players. He has backed the likes of [Frank] Lampard and [Steven] Gerrard and they have done fantastically well for him

"He wouldn't be averse to going back to somebody, but only Roy knows in his own mind whether he will or whether he won't. My opinion is probably not. I don't think so, but you never know."

Terry has earned 78 caps for England.
