Ivica Olic considers international retirement

Ivica Olic has admitted that he is pondering whether or not to retire from international football.

The 32-year-old was expected to play a major role for Croatia during their Euro 2012 campaign this summer.

However, it was confirmed yesterday that a thigh injury has ruled the striker out of what was likely to be his last major tournament.

"It's hard to say whether I will never play for Croatia again. But that seems to be the natural course of things," he told Sportske Novosti.

Olic has made 77 appearances for Croatia, scoring 15 goals in the process.
