Emile Heskey has hinted he may consider his future at Aston Villa as he battles to keep his place in England's World Cup plans.

He said: "Not playing at club level is difficult and it's something I will have to look at when I get back and try to address it.

"You always think about those kind of things and, like I said, I will just have to try to address it when the time is right. I'm never going to give up.

"It's just another hurdle I have to get over."

Asked why he is struggling to command a place at Villa Park, he said: "You would have to ask the manager. I wouldn't know."
