Veteran Liverpool defender Becky Easton says she is not ready to retire from football, despite recently turning 41. "I think I might have a year or two left in me hopefully," said Easton, who has played 44 times for England.

"If I spent a year on the bench not being involved, that might make up my mind for me.

"But as long as I can still mix it with these youngsters, I'll keep going."

She continued: "We now train every day, I've got better medical and sports science staff and it's a bit easier now because my body has everything it needs."

After starting four of Liverpool's opening five matches this season, Easton puts her longevity down to simply taking care of herself.

"With my diet I do everything properly," she said. "I do the cool downs properly, I do the ice-baths, take the protein, I do everything that we're told to do.

"I don't drink a lot, I don't smoke, I don't go out very much so I just tend to be sensible."
