Gerrard, the Liverpool captain, is set to play on next season for Liverpool and will focus on domestic duty as opposed to representing his country.

The midfielder's announcement is a huge blow for Roy Hodgson, who had hoped Gerrard would play on after last summer's tournament.

"I have enjoyed every minute of representing my country. It's a sad day for me," the midfielder said.
