Liverpool Midfielder, James Milner, on Friday, confirmed his retirement from international football.

“I would like to thank Sam for taking the time to come and see me in person and have the conversation face-to-face, regarding my international future and role within the England set-up,” Milner told TheFa.

“I think the decision we have reached is all about common sense. I wish Sam, the players, staff and supporters success in the future.”

Meanwhile, the new England Manager, Sam Allardyce, said he respects the decision of the midfielder and wished him well as he continues his club career.

“James has had the chance to reflect on his international career in recent months and consider his next steps, particularly with a young family at home and having allowed himself little free time away from the professional game in the past 15 years,” Allardyce said.
