Ryan Bertrand has deleted his Twitter account following the controversy that erupted over his reaction to claims he had withdrawn from the England squad with a sore throat.
More trouble than it's worth
Bertrand's international team-mate Phil Jagielka insists there is no chance of him opening a Twitter account and becoming embroiled in similar controversy.
The Everton defender admits he is not a fan of social networking and does not participate.
Jagielka said: "I don't have a Twitter account. There is maybe one in my name but it is not me. I've never been a fan of Twitter.
"I don't really get why people do it but that's up to them. I have never had Facebook, Myspace, any of those things.
"For me it is a bit more trouble than it's worth and I won't be signing up anytime soon.
"A lot of players love doing it, I can see why they do it. For me, it is not worth the hassle."
