Rio Ferdinand will not get England recall - Sir Alex Ferguson<br /><br />Sir Alex Ferguson does not expect England manager Roy Hodgson to recall Rio Ferdinand following John Terry's decision to quit the national team.<br />Manchester United defender Ferdinand has not played for England since the summer of 2011 and was not included in Hodgson's squad for Euro 2012.<br /><br />"I wouldn't think he will get called up," said Ferguson.<br />"Roy Hodgson made his decision before the European Championship and I can't see him changing that.<br />He added: "It would be difficult for him now to go back to Rio Ferdinand and welcome him back."<br />Ferdinand, 33, who has 81 caps for his country, was not selected for Euro 2012.<br />Chelsea captain Terry - who was selected for the finals in Poland and Ukraine - had been charged with racially abusing Ferdinand's younger brother Anton during a Premier League match between QPR and Chelsea last October.<br />But England manager Hodgson insisted Ferdinand's omission was solely for "footballing reasons".<br />In July, Terry was cleared of the charge at Westminster Magistrates' Court. However, on Thursday a Football Association hearing found Terry guilty of racially abusing Ferdinand, banning him for four games and issuing a £220,000 fine.
