Before the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Reus, who performed well at Borussia Mönchengladbach, was invited by Loew to enter the national team training camp, but due to injuries, Reus had no choice but to withdraw. In the following year, Reuss was selected to Loew's squad five times, but dropped out four times due to injury.
Euro 2012 was Reus's first major tournament, and although he did not play in three group games, Reus, the main right winger, scored a goal in the quarter-final against Greece.

In the last warm-up match against Armenia at the start of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, he was injured in a scramble with his opponent, and subsequently, the diagnosis was a partial tear in the ligament connecting the tibia and calf bone, and Reus missed the World Cup in Brazil.
Royce, who missed the World Cup in Brazil
In Euro 2016 and Euro 2020, Reuss missed the German squad due to injury, and the only World Cup he participated in, defending champion Germany also qualified from the group and missed the knockout round.
After missing out on this World Cup, Royce posted on social media: As some of you have already seen, I will not be able to participate in the World Cup. After another injury in training in early November, everyone has done everything in the last few days to make my participation in the World Cup possible. However, due to my ankle injury, I am not yet good enough to participate in the World Cup. I want to especially thank the people who have helped me over the past few weeks. I would like to thank national team coach Flick and team doctor Jochenhane, who also did everything they could. But in the end we all realised that I couldn't make it to the World Cup.
Reus is a player I admire a lot, he can play as a winger and an attacking midfielder, he is the heart of the midfield and the captain of the team. As a winger, Reus not only has excellent speed to attack the opponent's defense, but also has good shooting ability; As a midfielder, Reus is often excellent in running and penetrating, skilled at his feet and good at the ball.
I received three replies from Royce in the 2015-2016, 2016-2017 and 2019-2020 seasons with an autographed card from Dortmund from Little Rocket.

Ankles, adductor muscles, cruciate ligaments, and falling to the ground again and again in pain made Royce a representative of "Angel with Broken Wings" and "Glass Man", which can't help but be embarrassing. I wonder if "Little Rocket" still has a chance to participate in the 2024 European Championship on its home soil? But by then Royce would be thirty-five years old.
