KROOSe news 113 days before our home European Championship! Toni Kroos (34) is celebrating his DFB comeback.
The Real star confirmed yesterday on Instagram what BILD.de reported shortly before: “Guys, short and painless: I will play for Germany again from March. 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 at the moment!”

Within two hours, the post was liked by over 1.1 million followers. Comedian Oliver Pocher (46) commented: “Short and painless: Thank you!” Real teammate Jude Bellingham (20) wrote: “He’s back.” And fellow world champion Jérôme Boateng (35) replied: “Finally.”
National coach Julian Nagelsmann (36) had already described a possible Kroos return in the ZDF sports studio in December as an “interesting thought”.
The 2014 world champion resigned from the DFB selection after the round of 16 exit at the 2021 European Championship (0-2 against England) after 106 international matches.

Eleven days ago, Kroos spoke about returning for the first time. The Real star: “There is the possibility, I’m thinking about it. But I haven’t made a decision yet.”
With Kroos to the European Championships!
The midfielder will take part in the international matches in France (March 23) and against Holland (March 26).

What does Kroos’ return mean for the DFB team and especially for Leon Goretzka (29) and Ilkay Gündogan (33)?
One thing is clear: Kroos is not coming as a supplementary player. He’s in the starting line-up!
The idea: In addition to him as a strong six, there should be a clear defensive one. Surprisingly, Pascal Groß (32/Brighton) and Robert Andrich (29/Leverkusen) have the best chances.
Is Leon Goretzka the big Kroos loser?
Gündogan will move forward to the tenth position. Joshua Kimmich (29) is scheduled as a right-back.
Things are getting very tight for Goretzka! The Bayern star is not only threatened with the bank, he now even has to worry about his European Championship ticket.

Kroos’ return also has an impact on the offensive: Jamal Musiala (20) and Florian Wirtz (20) should rotate together next to Gündogan. Leroy Sané (28) would then be out. The Bayern star will miss the next three international matches due to a red card suspension.
Are we and Kroos one of the favorites for the European Championship?
The returnee in his podcast “Just Lup”: “Of course I want to help. But I’m definitely not the savior either. Everyone can say goodbye to this straight away.”
Nevertheless, football Germany is now hoping for the KROOS throw at the European Championships!
