Berlin (AP) - Toni Kroos is not available to the German national soccer team for the three upcoming World Cup qualifiers and will return to Spain due to injury, the German Soccer Association announced.
The 31-year-old Real Madrid professional had already come to the national team's quarters in Düsseldorf with adductor problems, which have proven to be so serious that they make it impossible, according to the DFB.
«Our medical department examined and treated Toni intensively.
He would have liked to stay with us, and I hate to do without him.
With a view to the European Championship tournament in the summer, we decided that a full recovery from this injury must now have priority, ”said national coach Joachim Loew.
