Another member of Germany's 2014 World Cup-winning squad has stepped away from the international stage.
Germany forward Lukas Podolski has confirmed his retirement from international football with immediate effect.
Podolski, who plays at the club level with Galatasaray, suggested in January 2015 that Euro 2016 would be his final major tournament with the national team.
The 31-year-old was included in Joachim Low's team and made his only appearance in the 3-0 victory over Slovakia in the group stage.
Germany exited the competition with a 2-0 defeat to France in the semifinals, and Podolski has disclosed he informed the coach of his decision to step away from the international stage.
