The German international, who won the 2014 World Cup and had 92 appearances for his nation, was playing for Istanbul Basaksehir in Turkey when he decided to end his career due to injuries that prevented him from making more than eight appearances this season.

“Hi everyone, after careful contemplation, I’m announcing my immediate retirement from professional football,” he posted on social media.
