Liverpool’s Sami Hyypia is considering retiring from international football, in order to concentrate on Liverpool, which in turn he believes could prolong his stay at Anfield.

"The next qualifiers don't start until August so I have plenty of time to think about it," said Hyypia.

"I will take a little break from the international scene and see how I feel.

"When you have fewer international games it can help at club level.

"So it will be good for me and the team that I will feel fresher for Liverpool."
