Bastian Schweinsteiger Retires From International Football

Germany captain Bastian Schweinsteiger announced he was retiring from international football on Friday after 120 appearances for the national team. 
His last game was the 2-0 semi-final defeat by France at Euro 2016 this month where the 31-year-old conceded a penalty, German news agency reported "I have asked the coach not to consider me for the national team in future as I would like to retire from internationals," he wrote on Twitter. 
The 31-year-old Manchester United midfielder, who began his international career in 2004, has had an injury-prone few years and despite being captain he did not start at Euro 2016 until the semi-final due to a lack of match fitness and the form of Sami Khedira. 
His predecessor as Germany captain, Philipp Lahm, quit in 2014 after Germany lifted the World Cup.
