Daniel Agger has revealed that he considered retiring from Anfield and football in general earlier this summer.
The Liverpool defender made the shock confession in an interview with a newspaper in his native Denmark after an injury-hit career which was struck again this summer with a back problem which forced the 24-year-old to consider his future.
He said: "My back was hurting so badly that I considered stopping playing..
"I asked myself if it was worth continuing playing. When you can't even lift your own child out of bed, then something is terribly wrong."
