Craig Bellamy has hinted he may retire from international football after conceding that his body is starting to deteriorate after a series of injuries.<\/p>\n

The striker has targeted the summer as a time to make his decision but expresses his desire to continue playing for Wales.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m 31 years of age now, I’ve had nine operations and most people are probably in better nick than me,\u201d said Bellamy, according to The Daily Mail.<\/p>\n

“The future isn’t great for me and I don’t like to look too far ahead.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will see how I am in the summer. I’d love to keep going as much as I can. I enjoy football and it’s important to me.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy body is a lot different to most people of my age because of the work I’ve had done. I take it season upon season because of the condition of my knee. It doesn’t allow me to look much further than the next couple of months.”<\/p>\n

Bellamy maintains he is still available for selection following Wales\u2019 2-0 defeat by England on Saturday, and the on-loan Cardiff City striker insists Gary Speed can take a positive from the age of the squad, as well as the second-half display against Fabio Capello’s side.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis isn’t my last game. There are two games in the summer but I will have to look at where I’m going,\u201d said Bellamy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s disappointing but we have to try to take the positives. We had a lot of young players who we have to be positive about.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are not just young, but really good young players with a big future. They will have learned from this game. The second-half performance was OK.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
