Germany's Toni Kroos Ends International Retirement Ahead of Euro 2024

In a surprising announcement, Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos has revealed his return to the Germany national team after a three-year hiatus, just in time for this summer's European Championship on home soil.

The 34-year-old, a pivotal figure in Germany's 2014 World Cup triumph, had retired from international duty in July 2021 following Germany's defeat to England in the last 16 of Euro 2020. However, Kroos has now confirmed his comeback, eager to contribute to his national team once again.

With 106 caps to his name, Kroos brings a wealth of experience and skill to the German squad. His decision to return was motivated by the invitation from the national team coach, his personal desire to represent his country, and his belief in the team's potential at the upcoming Euros.

Germany, as hosts of the tournament set to kick off on June 14, will be aiming to reclaim their former glory on the international stage. Despite recent struggles and early exits in the last two World Cups, the German team under coach Julian Nagelsmann is gearing up for redemption.

With matches against formidable opponents like France and Netherlands scheduled for March, Kroos's return injects a sense of optimism and determination into the German camp as they seek to make a triumphant comeback on home turf.
