Manchester City star Kyle Walker states that he wanted to quit international football on two occasions.
The England superstar is still one of the first names on the team sheet for boss Gareth Southgate.
Walker does admit that playing for his nation took a toll on him in the past, as he was close to retiring from the national team in 2021.
Speaking after a 1-1 draw against Ukraine, he stated: Yeah, I'm playing well. Obviously, in a moment, at the time that me and Gareth spoke, the likes of Trent, Tripps, Reece James coming through you do think your days are numbered.
And to sacrifice how many holidays and summers that I've sacrificed. I've been doing this since I was 19 [when] I joined the senior team. I'm 33 now.
Me and Gareth have a good relationship off the field. We do speak and I feel that I can still bring something to the team."
