The 32-year-old has been struggling with thigh and hamstring injuries in recent seasons.
“It is certain that if my injuries were to persist, I will have to make a decision. Most likely quit the French team,” Vieira told L’Equipe.
“If the situation repeats itself, I will have to face facts. I don’t see myself playing five or six matches, come back to the French team and be out for two or three months because of an injury.
“If such a scenario were to repeat, it would break my heart but I would put the selection behind me.”
