John Terry is reportedly thinking of calling time on his international retirement.

The Chelsea captain quit the England football team after the FA started disciplinary proceedings against him in the wake of the Anton Ferdinand racism storm.

But Terry, who has 78 caps for England, is reportedly in contact with England manager Roy Hodgson and is said to be considering a return to the national team with the 2014 World Cup just around the corner.

England has yet to establish a settled back four in recent matches.
