Roy Hodgson will hand Ashley Cole his 100th England cap against Brazil, but warns he is no longer a guaranteed starter.

Capable

Hodgson added: "Leighton proved himself to me during the Euros and since then when he's played a couple of games in Ashley's absence. "So he doesn't have to do anything. He knows that he's capable of playing for England at left-back. "Just as Ashley knows he's capable and he's proved it with 100 caps."
