Carragher confident about England defence 
Carragher explains England decision Player profile
The versatile Carragher has returned from a self-imposed international exile for the World Cup and will provide cover at right-back and in central defence.
He retired from international football in July 2007 because he was fed up with the role of an understudy, and in his subsequent autobiography he admitted: “Defeats while wearing an England shirt never hurt me in the same way as losing with my club.”
Carragher has cited the lure of working under Fabio Capello, coupled with Liverpool’s failure to secure Champions League football next season, for his change of heart.
He missed the 2002 World Cup with a knee injury but was part of the squad four ago when his twice-taken spot-kick was saved in the quarter-final penalty shoot-out defeat by Portugal.
Although a boyhood Everton fan, Carragher has made 630 appearances in 13 seasons for Liverpool, placing him seventh in the club’s all-time list, and has helped the club win the Champions League, Uefa Cup, and two FA and League Cups.
