Richard Dunne admits that he has struggled to make a decision on his international future and has asked for advice from Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert.

Richard Dunne has admitted that he is finding it hard to make a decision on his future with the Republic of Ireland.

The Aston Villa centre-back says that he has considered retiring and has sought the advice of club manager Paul Lambert.

Dunne said: "Yes, retiring has crossed my mind a few times. It's easy after a tournament, the way it has gone, to make a rash decision and say 'that's it'. But I just have to think about things.

"It's a hard decision, because it is something I love doing, and I had a chat with Paul Lambert about it and asked him about it.

"He said it has to be down to me because if I'm not happy with the decision and I regret it, then it's no good. I've already spent four weeks thinking about it and still can't decide."

Aston Villa begin the Premier League season at West Ham United on August 18.
