Real Madrid midfielder veteran Kroos ponders Germany return

Real Madrid midfielder veteran Toni Kroos won't rule out ending his international retirement.

Kroos admits he's now thinking about it after a public plea from Real and former Germany teammate Toni Rudger.

“I ask him every day!" Rudiger said on DAZN. “A player like him, who is still playing at such a high level, has to be here. It's like that. His passing ability is from another planet. Everything he does is really impressive. I would love for him to play for the national team again, really."

In response, Kroos said: “I had to think about it for a long time, it caught me off guard because I hadn't thought about it myself, but he did.

“That made me think about it and to give him an answer that I can't give him today."
