Turkey's Sahin quits internationals -- at 29
29-year-old Nuri Sahin
Istanbul - Al Maghrib Today
Borussia Dortmund midfielder Nuri Sahin on Thursday announced his international retirement after Turkey's failure to reach the World Cup, despite being just 29 years old.
"I'd like to announce that I am putting an end to my career with the national team," Sahin wrote on Twitter and Instagram, adding that he wanted "to give way to a new generation" of players.
Voted Bundesliga Player of the Year in 2011, the Germany-born player made 52 appearances for Turkey and scored two goals.
Turkey missed out on making the World Cup when Iceland won their group and Croatia bagged a spot in the play-offs as one of Europe's best runners-up.
