He plays for a Spanish league club, he would have to be Spanish to play for the Spanish national team. And he may be selected for England again in the future, but I think it isn't all that likely.
My guess is that he knew this was coming, which is why he resigned as England captain after the World Cup, to preserve at least a little dignity.
