Manchester United captain Gary Neville says he would accept an England World Cup call if it arrived.
In his column for the Sunday Times of Malta, Neville wrote: "I've always said I wouldn't retire from international football and I would always be available to play. But I have not been in the squad for about 10 months so it's not something I'm expecting, it is in the hands of other people rather than me. Firstly, I need to stay fit until the end of the season and play games.
"In the past couple of weeks I have felt a lot stronger. Staying fit and playing games for a period of time helps me to feel that way. I was pleased to be part of the team against Milan on Wednesday but in football you play one good game and the next week it can all change.
"I'm too long in the tooth to get carried away by one match or a series of matches over two or three weeks. It is not until the end of the season that you can look back and say whether it has been a good season individually and collectively for the team."
