英语文摘：Toni may move if still benched in Bayern

BERLIN, Sept. 7 (Xinhua) -- Italian international Luca Toni will ponder a move if he is still on bench at Bayern Munich, the striker has said, noting that he aims to keep form for next year's World Cup.

    Toni claimed that he needs to play to keep his chances intact of representing his country at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Monday's edition of German sports magazine Kicker reported.

    Toni is set to return to training from Achilles tendon problems. But the Bundesliga top scorer in 2007-2008 season could find it hard to make the starting lineup under new Bayern coach Louis van Gaal, given the likes of Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery, Miroslav Klose, Ivica Olic and Mario Gomez on Munich's squad.

Italy's Luca Toni reacts during their Confederations Cup soccer match against Egypt at Ellis Park in Johannesburg June 18, 2009.

    "Up to now the team was happy that I am here. If that is no longer the case I will consider a move," Toni told Kicker.

    "If I have to take a place on the substitutes' bench I will take this place. But I know my value and a lot of (other) clubs know my strength. So I will have to reconsider if I don't get a chance to play. After all, the World Cup is coming up," he added.

    The 32-year-old joined Munich in 2007 from Fiorentina of Italy and has scored 38 goals in 56 Bundesliga appearances for the German top club.
