Stuttgart keeper has no plans for international retirement
Jens Lehmann has admitted that he has given no thought to his future at international level.
The Stuttgart goalkeeper won the last of his 61 caps in the Euro 2008 final as Germany lost out to Spain.
He will be 40 by the time the next World Cup takes place in 2010 and Germany must decide whether they want to bring in a younger man.
Lehmann has no plans to announce his retirement from international football just yet but is set to speak with Germany boss Joachim Low.
"I didn't give it any thought during the holiday after Euro 2008 and I will see what happens," said the former Arsenal player.
Lehmann officially became a Stuttgart player on Friday after signing a one-year deal with the Bundesliga club and coach Armin Veh is delighted to have landed the veteran.
"Jens was our top candidate from the very beginning for the goalkeeper position," Veh told the club's website.
"His qualities are undeniable and the whole team will benefit from his experience."
Lehmann started all six of Germany's games in Austria and Switzerland and Low's only other options are lacking in experience.
Robert Enke of Hannover and Bayer Leverkusen's Rene Adler have just one cap between them, while Valencia keeper Timo Hildebrand was left at home for Euro 2008 and the promising Manuel Neuer of Schalke is just 22.
Low said: "Jens is now 38 years old and we have young goalkeepers such as Rene and Manuel coming through who have shown their quality."
