The Manchester United defender suffered another Euro 2012 snub.The FA confirmed earlier that Gary Cahill had been ruled out of the tournament after fracturing his jaw in two places and Ferdinand would have been the obvious replacement.Instead Hodgson has gone for Liverpool youngster Martin Kelly, who made his international debut as a substitute in the final two minutes of the win in Norway on May 26.Hodgson faced a barrage of questions whether he had snubbed Ferdinand because of concerns the centre-back would not be able to get along with John Terry, in light of Terry's impending court case for alleged racist remarks to Ferdinand's brother Anton at Loftus Road in October. Terry denies the charge against him.And it appears the Ferdinand camp feel there is more to the decision than simply "footballing reasons", the grounds Hodgson gave for leaving the Manchester United man out of his initial squad.Ferdinand's representative Jamie Moralee: "To treat a player that has captained and served his country 81 times (in this manner) is nothing short of disgraceful. Total lack of respect from Hodgson and the FA as far as I am concerned."Kelly has made just 12 Premier League appearances for Liverpool last termThe Belgian player who caused Cahill's injury, Mertens, has expressed remorse for his part in the incident, issuing an apology on his Twitter page.The PSV Eindhoven forward wrote: "I sincerely apologize for the harm I've cost to Cahill. When in the heat of the moment, you often don't think about the consequences."My thoughts go out to him and I hope he recovers well!"
