Germany stalwart Kroos mulls possibility of retirement after Euro 2020

Germany midfielder Toni Kroos has admitted that he could retire from the national team following the conclusion of next year's European Championships.

The Real Madrid man, who has won 92 caps for his country since 2010, was a key member of Joachim Low's side that lifted the World Cup in Brazil in 2014.
