Vidal plans to retire from internationals after World Cup
Should Chile qualify for next year's World Cup, it is set to be a farewell for midfielder Arturo Vidal.
Arturo Vidal is set to retire after the 2018 World Cup in Russia after revealing his future international plans.
Vidal already appeared to hint at international retirement following Chile's shock 3-0 loss to Paraguay in World Cup qualifying last week.
And the 30-year-old midfielder – veteran of 97 caps – discussed his future again after Chile suffered a 1-0 defeat in Bolivia in CONMEBOL action on Tuesday.
The result left Chile in sixth position – outside the play-off spot by a point.
In an Instagram post afterwards, Vidal wrote: "Sorry Chile for these two losses! We put everything in the field but we couldn't win.
"We will continue fighting!!! Two matches and the World Cup is what I have left, thanks for so much affection in all these years!!!"
Perdón Chile por estás 2 derrotas!! Dejamos todo en el campo pero no se pudo. Seguiremos peleando!!! 2 partidos y el mundial me quedan, gracias por tanto cariño en todos estos años!!!
