Toni Kroos will return to the Germany national team ahead of this summer’s European Championship, the Real Madrid midfielder confirmed on social media on Thursday.
Kroos, 34 — who retired from international football in 2021 — had revealed earlier this month that he was considering the move before Euro 2024, which will be hosted by Germany.

“Guys, short and painless: I will play for Germany again from March,” Kroos posted on Instagram.
“Why? Because I was asked by the national coach, I’m up for it and I’m sure that a lot more is possible with the team at the European Championships than most people believe!”
