Toni Kroos Announces Sensational Comeback for Euro 2024

midfielder Toni Kroos has reversed his decision to retire from international duty and is set to return to the German national team next month in preparation for Euro 2024. The 34-year-old had initially stepped away from the national side after Euro 2020, declaring that his time with Germany was over. However, in an Instagram post, Kroos announced his decision to play for Germany again, expressing enthusiasm for the upcoming European Championship.

Kroos explained that he was approached by the national team coach, Julian Nagelsmann, who asked if he could consider returning. Initially not in his plans, Kroos agreed to contemplate the idea and gradually became more convinced through discussions. He emphasized that his decision was made in a timely manner to avoid keeping anyone waiting and expressed happiness with the choice.

The midfielder acknowledged that while he aims to contribute, he is not the savior but rather a part of the team's collective effort. Kroos affirmed his readiness both physically and mentally for the tournament, highlighting the incentive of being needed for a competition in his home country.

The news is expected to boost Germany's prospects at Euro 2024, following their struggles in recent tournaments. Kroos might feature in the upcoming friendlies against France and the Netherlands in March, providing a valuable addition to Nagelsmann's squad. The team will be under heightened expectations as they aim for a successful performance in the European Championship, being the tournament hosts.
