Kyle Walker announced his retirement from international football on Tuesday after winning 96 caps for England and featuring at five major tournaments.
The 36-year-old was part of the sides that reached the European Championship final in 2021 and 2024.
However, the former Manchester City defender has been a shadow of his former self since joining Burnley this season, making selection for the upcoming World Cup unlikely.
"I am sad to be making this decision, but I'm also very proud of what I've achieved with England," said Kyle Walker, whose last appearance for his country came in a friendly against Senegal in 2025.
Walker is the 10th most capped England men's player of all time.
The English Football Association said a tribute will be made to his international career at a fixture after the World Cup.
"I know all England fans will join me in congratulating Kyle on an incredible international career," said England manager Thomas Tuchel.
