Inter Milan midfielder Patrick Vieira admits he could quit international football.
The former Arsenal captain and France international told L'Equipe: "I have to take a decision.
"It would be useless to play some matches for France and then stop myself again for a few months."
Vieira, who has 106 caps for Les Bleus, hopes he can come back from his latest setback, an Achilles problem, to help Inter in the title race.
"The ideal, if all goes to plan, would be to return to full fitness by the end of the month and then play uninterrupted for all of February."
