Inter's Vieira shrugs off injury problems

PARIS, June 22 (Reuters) France captain Patrick Vieira has no concerns over his future despite persistent thigh and knee injuries which have plagued him since February.

''I don't have the body of an 18 or 20 year old ... but I don't feel old,'' the 30-year-old Inter Milan midfielder told the French magazine France Football.

''I feel well mentally and very well physically. Those injuries are not worrying me. I feel stronger than ever,'' he added in an interview published today.

Vieira also pledged his future to the Italian club after switching clubs the past two years, moving from Arsenal to Juventus in 2005 and joining Inter in 2006.

''A move is out of question. It took me six months to find a flat. I'm still unpacking and I need a break'', he said.

''I'll finish my career with Inter. My contract runs until 2010 and I'll play at least until then, it's a certainty. Then we'll see.'' REUTERS SAM RK1631
