Inter Milan striker Diego Milito has moved to play down speculation that he could retire during the summer.

The Argentine picked up a serious knee injury back in February that has ruled him out for the remainder of the campaign, with some reports having suggested that he may not make a full recovery.

However, despite admitting that he may leave Inter, the 33-year-old has revealed that his intention is to continue playing.

"My future? I expect to start playing again. There's just one goal in my head right now and that's to try and make a good recovery and get back on the pitch," he told the club's official website.

"Will I end my career at Inter? I honestly don't know. I've always said that I'd like to go back to Argentina and play with the club I started with. You never know.

"Now I'm focused on recovering and getting back on the pitch. I don't know what will happen after that."

Milito joined Inter from fellow Italian outfit Genoa in 2009.
