Michael Ballack has encouraged Germany captain Bastian Schweinsteiger to retire from international football.
The Manchester United midfielder started just one game at Euro 2016 - the semi-final defeat to France - as he struggled to reach full fitness.
And Ballack, his former team-mate, has reflected on a disappointing tournament for Schweinsteiger and believes the 31-year-old should bring an end to his international career.
"I think it is now a good time for him to withdraw," he wrote in his column for German publication Express.
"I know that he is brutally ambitious. But if you have seen him in the last two years, you have to honestly say that I'm worried by his many injuries and about his physical condition.
