Toni Kroos listens to Grandpa Heinz - and ignores his mom's advice when making the DFB decision. The 34-year-old announced this in a statement on Instagram.
The midfielder will return for the international matches in Lyon against France on March 23rd and three days later in Frankfurt against the Netherlands. “He is still a world-class player who is capable of powerful things,” said sports director Rudi Völler. The shoe does not press “quite as extreme” in the midfield.
