Steven Gerrard says he is "disgusted" by players who have turned their back on England after Harry Redknapp claimed some have tried to avoid international duty in the past.
Redknapp revealed over the weekend that some of his former Tottenham players had requested a break rather than join up with the Three Lions squad.
"They'd come to me ten days before the game and say 'gaffer get me out of the game. I don't want to play in it'," Redknapp, who managed Spurs between 2008 and 2012, told BBC Radio Five Live.
England captain Gerrard, who has amassed 113 caps, is currently considering his own international future after the Three Lions' group-stage exit in Brazil.
But the 34-year-old admits he would like to know of those who have left his country in the lurch over the past few years.
"If Harry is making a comment like that he should name them and embarrass them. No-one in this group wants to go home – no one," said the Liverpool midfielder.
"I don't know who he means. Is it five years ago? Ten years ago? We need names. If it's the case, it's disgusting.
"For me, if a player doesn't want to be here, he doesn't deserve to be here at a World Cup. I can guarantee that is not the case here. Nobody here wants to go home.
"When you go down into the younger age groups, they're younger lads and might not want to be away from their families.
"But when you're picked at this level and find any excuse not to be here, you don't deserve to be here."
