Joe Hart: There are no issues with John Terry being in the England camp
Published 16:52 10/11/11 By MirrorFootball
England stars Joe Hart and Phil Jones have presented a united front in rejecting claims the presence of John Terry in the squad might prove divisive.
Terry is presently the subject of police and FA investigations over allegations of making racist comments towards Anton Ferdinand at QPR last month.
Terry strenuously denies the claims and Fabio Capello, backed by the FA, chose to select the 30-year-old in his squad for the friendlies against Spain on Saturday and Sweden next week on the grounds he was innocent until proven guilty.
Yet there were some who felt Terry should be omitted until such time as his name was cleared to prevent the potential for unease.
It appears the matter has not been mentioned though - and if there are problems, Hart is not aware of them.
"I have not felt there are any issues," said the Manchester City star. "It's been dealt by the police so it's not for us to talk about.
"I can only talk for me but you've just got to concentrate on big games on Saturday and Tuesday.
"That's the only way to look at it."
Jones is in full agreement.
And having been part of three consecutive squads, the 19-year-old can see no discernible change.
"I don't know what goes through his mind," said the Manchester United defender.
"I look after myself and how I prepare for this game but I'll be pretty sure he'll be as professional as any footballer in preparing for this game.
"It is not a talking point I have been aware of. It's business as usual."
