Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard says that he will end his England career when the manager feels that it is time for him to step back.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has revealed that he has no intention of calling time on his international career.

The 31-year-old midfielder will lead the Three Lions at Euro 2012 next month after being awarded the skipper's armband by new manager Roy Hodgson.

"I can understand that at my age people are going to start questioning me and asking me if I'm going to quit England and focus on Liverpool, but I don't see it like that," Gerrard told The Mirror.

"I don't think I have a decision to make. I love playing for England, I love playing for Liverpool. I think it's going to be a case of let's see how I perform in this tournament.

"Let's see if first and foremost I have a future with this manager if he's keen for me to stay about. If the manager says to me at the start of next season that he thinks I did well in the tournament, that he wants me to stick about, that he can protect me, not overuse me and that I have a big part to play, I'm sure I will carry on."

Meanwhile, Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck has been declared fit to feature in England's second training session today while Liverpool full-back Glen Johnson was forced to miss out after warming up at the Etihad Stadium.
