Manchester City defender Joleon Lescott has suggested that he will "address" his future at the Etihad Stadium when the season comes to a close.

The former Everton centre-back has hinted that he may leave the club if his chances of featuring in next year's World Cup for England in Rio are thrown into doubt.

The 30-year-old has dropped down the rankings at City this season under manager Roberto Mancini, who has had his own future at the North-West outfit questioned.

"If I can play more regularly at club level, then I think I'll be [at the World Cup]," the Daily Star quotes Lescott as saying. "Towards the end of the season, I'll address that. But for now, I'm fully focused on England."

Lescott is currently preparing with his Three Lions teammates for tomorrow's World Cup qualifier against Montenegro.
