Andriy Voronin steps down from international duty

Andriy Voronin has joined Ukraine teammate Andriy Shevchenko in quitting the national team following the side's elimination from Euro 2012.

The tournament's co-hosts were knocked out of the elite competition following a 1-0 defeat to England in Donetsk last night.

"I am leaving the Ukraine team. I took this decision in advance [of the Euros]," Voronin told sport.ua. "I have chosen to focus on my club career [with Dynamo Moscow] because I am not young enough to combine both roles."

Meanwhile, Shevchenko confirmed his retirement from international football last night.
