LONDON (Reuters) - England's dynamic World Cup squad contains one youngster too many, and could be undone by its lack of experience when the tension rises in Brazil, Sol Campbell told Reuters on Friday.

One of England's greatest defensive stalwarts, Campbell - the only man to represent England at six consecutive international tournaments - said there was always room for youngsters to be blooded at major events, but that manager Roy Hodgson had gone too far with his 23-man squad for Brazil.
