'I'm happy to be back!' - Gotze glad to put injury woe behind him ahead of Germany return

Having struggled with his fitness since scoring the winner in the 2014 World Cup final, the midfielder is happy to be back in action

Mario Gotze is glad to be back in action for club and country after returning from another extended spell on the sidelines due to injury.

Gotze, who has had two injury-hit seasons since scoring the winner for Germany in the 2014 World Cup final, has started seven Bundesliga matches for Borussia Dortmund this season.

With Gotze preparing to make his first international appearance in a year against England at Wembley on Friday, the playmaker is keen to reintegrate into the world champions' squad.
