Joleon Lescott thinks that Belgium's Dries Mertens should have been punished for pushing Gary Cahill, which fractured his jaw and ended his Euro 2012 campaign.

Manchester City and England defender Joleon Lescott believes that Belgium's Dries Mertens should have been given a red card after ending Gary Cahill's Euro 2012 campaign.

The Chelsea centre-back was dropped from the Three Lions squad after suffering a broken jaw following Mertens's push on Cahill during England's 1-0 win over Belgium at Wembley on Saturday.

Lescott wrote on Twitter: "Gutted to hear Gaz is ruled out. The challenge that caused it was more reckless and dangerous than most two-footed tackles so why only yellow?"

Liverpool's Martin Kelly has been called up into Roy Hodgson's squad as a replacement.
