“I ask him [to make himself available for Germany selection] every day. A player like him, who is still at such a high level, really has to be there,” Rudiger told DAZN this week.

“When Toni plays, with his heart rate of 20 and a game from another planet, everything is great. I would very much like him to play in the national team. But that is his decision.”
