Munich - Italy striker Luca Toni will consider leaving Bayern Munich if he doesn't become a regular starter again after a return from injury. Toni told Monday's edition of German sports magazine Kicker that he needs to play to keep his chances intact of representing his country at the 2010 World Cup.

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

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

"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."

Toni joined Munich in 2007 from Fiorentina and has scored 38 goals in 56 Bundesliga appearances for the German top club.
