Liverpool's James Milner hints at international retirement

Liverpool midfielder James Milner admits that he may retire from international football following the conclusion of Euro 2016.

James Milner has revealed that he will consider his international future after Euro 2016.

The versatile midfielder has been used more than any other player since Roy Hodgson took charge of England just a matter of weeks before the start of the European Championships four years ago.

However, if the 30-year-old is soon to be restricted to more of a bench role, Milner has suggested that he would rather walk away.

"I don't know really, I can see pluses and minuses for both and you probably get criticised either way whichever way you take it," FourFourTwo quotes Milner as saying.

"I think that is a conversation I will probably have with the manager at the start of next season. I don't want to be travelling around and not really contributing and being a good tourist.

"I want to contribute and if the manager sees I have a part to play then great and if not it is better for me to set aside and let younger guys travel around."

The Liverpool vice-skipper has earned 57 senior caps to date, with his 58th expected to come against Holland on Tuesday evening.
