BERLIN, Nov. 9 (Xinhua) -- Joachim Loew have revealed his 24-man squad for the last two international encounters this year on Friday.

Borussia Dortmund skipper Marco Reus returns into the national team after missing his last call up back in October due to knee problems. The attacking midfielder is currently in good shape as he provided 11 goals in 10 appearances for the "BVB".

Chelsea London's Antonio Ruediger, Bayer Leverkusen's Kai Havertz and Bayern Munich's Leon Goretzka return from injuries as well and will join the 24-men squad.

Real Madrid's Toni Kroos will join for the last game against the Netherlands, as Joachim Loew wants to give the midfielder a regeneration break.

Meanwhile, Barcelona's goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who suffering from a shoulder injury, and Bayern Munich's defender Jerome Boateng have been left out for a rest period.

"I am convinced that a break will be good for him at the moment. I told him that we also have many alternatives on his position, especially younger players. However, the young players have to prove that they reach the level of Jerome," Loew said.

Germany will encounter Russia on 15th November for an international friendly before they host the Netherlands for the 6th round in the UEFA Nations League four days later.

"Of course I expect that after a weak year we say goodbye to our fans with two good performances in the last two games. It is a good opportunity for us to play in front of home crowd twice. Once again, we want to show the enthusiasm that has distinguished us for years," Loew said.
