Man City's Kyle Walker discusses Liverpool FC VAR farce and jokes about retirement plans
Manchester City captain Kyle Walker has joked that he intends to "keep going forever" when asked about any plans to retire from international football.
Walker is currently away on international duty with England and will be hoping to play a role in the Three Lions' European Championship qualifying clash with Italy on Tuesday night. Walker was an unused substitute against Australia on Friday night as Gareth Southgate experimented with his side in the 1-0 win over Graham Arnold's men.

It's understood he had to be persuaded not to retire from England duty, and he's now been quizzed on his international future.

Sometimes that does make it not go well.
