With a number of reports circulating that Wayne Rooney could be called back into the England squad this week, the striker has taken matters into his own hands.
The 31-year-old attacker has retired from international football, it has been confirmed today.
Rooney completed a summer move to Everton this summer to play regular football with the hope of continuing his England career but seems to have decided this is the right time to call it a day.
Rooney has had his fair share of controversy during his England career but eclipsed Sir Bobby Charlton’s goalscoring record for the country in September 2015, cementing himself as one of the true greats.
Having originally planned to retire after next summer’s World Cup, Rooney has brought forward his retirement due to the dwindling hopes of him being on the plane to Russia.
The former Three Lions captain is the nation’s record goalscorer with 53 goals in 119 caps spanning a 14-year international career. - Read Sport
