England manager Sven Goran Eriksson, quoted in the Sunday Times, said, "I respect Alan Shearer as a quality player. If he ever said that he would be available again, then he is the type of player who would get serious consideration."
Shearer, able to concentrate solely on playing for his club, has been in scintillating form for Newcastle United as they chase the premier league title and make an impression in the Champions League.
He has scored at a rate of just over a goal every two games for Newcastle since he quit international soccer in 2000.
