Sagnol Admits Early Retirement Fears
Bayern Munich and France defender Willy Sagnol says there is a very real possibility that he has already played his last competitive matchs.

The 31-year-old, who has not featured at all for club or country since France's 4-2 loss to Holland at Euro 2008, cast a solemn figure during a recent interview with TF1 television, during which time he announced that he would be calling it a career if he isn't completely recovered by May.
"I came back in pre-season full of desire, but during the preparation, I had a problem with my Achilles tendon," he explained.
"I had to have an operation, which means my recovery will be longer than predicted.
"The hardest thing is not knowing when I could play again. My priority is to find out if I can play football again or not.
"If things have not been resolved by May, my retirement will be certain."
