Ozil quit the national team after a disastrous World Cup campaign which saw Germany crash out in the group stage.

The 29-year-old cited racism and discrimination as being key factors behind his call.

The former Germany international was vilified by sections of the German press, the far-right and leading Germany FA members after posing for a photograph with Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the national teams poor form.
