England defender Sol Campbell has claimed he was told he had been left out of new manager Steve McClaren's first squad - by answer-phone.
The Portsmouth centre-back, currently top of the league with Harry Redknapp's team, follows David Beckham in claiming he was cast aside by McClaren.
He said: 'He [McClaren] left one message on the answer-phone to tell me I wasn't in the first squad. That was it. We haven't spoken since.
'Maybe he could have done it differently. I have got 69 caps but that's the way he runs his show now.
'All I can do is play for Pompey, that's it. Whatever will be will be. It's not up to me if I can still play for England but I would never turn my back on England.'
