Marco Reus is adamant he will not miss out on a second successive World Cup as he aims to secure a place in Germany's squad for Russia.
The Borussia Dortmund forward did not feature in the 2014 edition due to an ankle problem, forcing him to watch on from afar as his compatriots lifted the trophy in Brazil.
Having also missed out on Euro 2016, Reus is determined to make sure he is available to play in this year's event - provided he is recalled by national coach Joachim Low.
The 28-year-old only recently returned from a serious knee injury suffered last May, but has scored three goals in as many league games for Dortmund.
