Toni Kroos has announced his return to the Germany national team ahead of the upcoming European Championship this summer. The Real Madrid midfielder confirmed this decision on social media, stating that he will be rejoining the national team in March.
Kroos, who is 34 years old, had previously retired from international football in 2021 but expressed his willingness to come back before Euro 2024, which will be hosted by Germany. In his Instagram post, Kroos mentioned that he was asked by the national coach to return and that he believes the team has the potential to achieve more at the European Championships than many anticipate.
During his previous stint with the national team from 2010 to 2021, Kroos made 106 appearances and scored 17 goals. He played a crucial role in Germany's 2014 World Cup victory in Brazil. However, he faced criticism for his performances during Euro 2020, where Germany was eliminated by England in the round-of-16, leading to his retirement.
This season, Kroos has been in exceptional form for Real Madrid, contributing significantly to their success in topping the LaLiga table. His return to the national team is expected to bolster Germany's midfield and provide valuable experience and leadership on the field.
German football fans will undoubtedly be excited to see Kroos back in the national team colors, and his presence could make a significant impact on their Euro 2024 campaign. With his wealth of experience and skill, Kroos will be a key player to watch during the upcoming European Championship.
