After making 86 appearances for Germany, Antonio Rüdiger announced his international retirement at the beginning of September.

“After taking some time to reflect, I feel the time has come for me to end my career with the national team and make way for the younger generation,” Rüdiger said in a statement back then.

It has now been announced that the Real Madrid defender will receive an official farewell from the German Football Association (DFB) ahead of Monday's UEFA Nations League clash with the Netherlands at the Olympiastadion in his hometown of Berlin.

The tribute will mark the end of a 12-year international career for the 33-year-old, who made his Germany debut in May 2014.

Rüdiger has made seven appearances for Real Madrid this season and remains under contract with the Spanish giants until 2027.
