Toni Kroos provides update on return from injury

Toni Kroos is yet to feature for Real Madrid this season

Toni Kroos has revealed that he is edging closer to full fitness, but cannot pinpoint an expected date of return. The former German international is yet to feature for Real Madrid this season after picking up a sports hernia injury during pre-season training.

Kroos was last seen in action in Germany’s defeat to England in the last 16-tie of Euro 2020. He soon announced his retirement from international football to focus on his Los Blancos career.

Real Madrid were expecting to benefit from the German’s decision, as a fit Kroos would be pivotal to their season. However, that has not been the case. The player recently took to Twitter to provide an update on his injury and remains hopeful of returning to action soon.

“I can tell you that I am feeling better. The truth is that I still can't do everything without pain. That's normal with this injury. I can't say exactly when I'll be back yet, but I work on it every day to be able to get back as soon as possible,” said Kroos.

Reinier set to return to Real Madrid after premature end of loan spell

Reinier might be forced to return to Real Madrid unless he improves his form with Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund are contemplating putting a premature end to Reinier’s loan spell at the club, according to Marca via Bild. The Real Madrid youngster has failed to impress since joining the Bundesliga side on loan last summer. Reinier played an important role in his nation’s Olympic triumph this summer but has struggled to replicate that form at the Westfalenstadion.

The Brazilian has managed just one goal in 20 appearances for Dortmund, and the Bundesliga side are keeping a close eye on his progress. Unless Reinier shows signs of improvement soon, his loan deal could be canceled and he would be sent back to the Santiago Bernabeu.
