Patrick Vieira has told Inter Milan to stop interfering with his international commitments after the Italian club publicly said they hoped France would not field their midfielder in the Euro 2008 qualifier against Scotland in Paris.

Inter Director of Sport Marco Branca told L'Equipe'swebsite today that he believed Vieira was at risk because he has just recovered from a hamstring injury.

The Serie A champions had also expressed concern about Vieira's fitness before Saturday's 0-0 draw with Italy in Milan, which the France captain played from start to finish.

"I have never chosen between club and country. If I'm all right I play for one and for the other," the 31-year-old midfielder told a news conference this evening.

"If Inter prefer to speak via newspapers instead of telling me what they think, it is their problem. I don't usually talk about this sort of thing in the newspapers. I'm disappointed"
