Assists in win Kroos assisted once to go with four shots (zero on target), five crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 3-1 win over Espanyol.

Impact Kroos bagged in his first assist since Nov 10 to help tie the game for the team Saturday. He is among one of the best midfielders in the league with an average of 4.4 crosses and 3.1 corners a match. However, he had been quiet of late, only recording one assist io 17 crosses (three accurate) and 10 chances created in the last six games. Prior, Kroos had generated two goals and one assists on 29 crosses (nine accurate) and 11 chances created in his previous five contests.

Late addition to squad Kroos (illness), who wasn't originally included in the traveling squad, has been called up for Tuesday's matchup with Liverpool.

Impact Kroos missed the club's previous two matches while dealing with his illness but appears to be at least fit enough to be an option off the bench. In his last five appearances (three starts), the midfielder generated one goal on four shots (two on target), 22 crosses (seven accurate) and 14 corners. If Kroos were a surprise start versus Liverpool, he could be a top-end fantasy target given his role on freekicks and corners.

Out with illness Kroos (illness) was not called up by Real Madrid for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Liverpool.

Impact Kroos has already missed Madrid's last two games against Elche and Osasuna in La Liga due to gastroenteritis, and he will not recover in time to be available for Tuesday's UCL match. With Aurelien Tchouameni (illness) also out, Luka Modric, Eduardo Camavinga and Eduardo Camavinga are likely to continue as the starting midfield trio.

Sends in four crosses as sub Kroos registered one off-target shot, one chance created, four crosses (two accurate) and two interceptions in 19 minutes during Sunday's 1-0 loss at Mallorca.

Impact Kroos subbed on in the 71st minute and did not have much time to help them avoid the road loss. The midfielder was active on offense, though, sending in the second-most crosses for his side. He will likely come back to the starting XI on Feb 15 against Elche.

Scores goal against Bilbao Kroos subbed into Sunday's match against Athletic Club in the 85th minute, and he scored a goal and created a chance in the 2-0 victory.

Impact Kroos sealed the result for his side Sunday with a vintage outside-the-box strike, his second goal of the season. He has started 12 of Madrid's 17 La Liga matches in midfield.

Creates three chances in loss Kroos took a shot and created three chances in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Villarreal. He also made an interception in the match.

Impact Kroos has now created at least three chances in each of his last three La Liga appearances, but it wasn't enough for Madrid on Saturday as they lost to Villarreal.

Madrid beats Cádiz to cut Barça's lead ahead of World Cup

Real Madrid has halted its two-match winless streak in the Spanish league by defeating relegation-threatened Cádiz 2-1 to go into the World Cup break closer to leader Barcelona

NOVEMBER 10, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

One of each versus Cadiz Kroos scored a goal and added an assist on two shots and four chances created during Thursday's 2-1 victory over Cadiz.

Impact Kroos made perhaps the play of the match during the 70th minute by volleying home a Vinicius Junior cross near the top of the area. It was somewhat surprisingly his first goal in all competitions this season. In his current form, Kroos should be an integral part of the Germany attack during the upcoming World Cup.

Rayo Vallecano hands Real Madrid first Spanish league loss

Available after suspension Kroos completed his one-match suspension during Monday's 3-2 loss to Rayo Vallecano, making him available for Thursday's match against Cadiz.

Impact Kroos will get one more chance to play before heading off to play for Germany during the World Cup. He's logged three assists in 16 league and UCL matches until his suspension, which isn't a notable mark but with a regular role on set pieces Kroos remains in solid form before going to Qatar.

Sent off in stoppage time Kroos was sent off in stoppage time after conceding two yellow cards during Sunday's match against Girona.

Impact Kroos already cut it close with a challenge that injured Yan Couto in the first half but couldn't last the whole match without picking up a second booking. The coming UCL match against Celtic on Wednesday isn't in question but he'll miss Monday's match at Rayo Vallecano and should be eligible one final league match ahead of the World Cup, in the Nov. 10 contest against Cadiz.

Quiet in win Kroos had three tackles (two won), two clearances, and one interception in Wednesday's 3-0 victory versus Elche.

Impact Kroos had a rare quiet game, not recording any crosses or corners in the match. He usually averages 4.3 crosses and 3.3 corners a contest. The 32-year-old is still a world class midfielder with three assists, 51 crosses (17 accurate) and 38 corners in thus far in all competitions.

Key presence in win Kroos created one chance and won three-of-five tackles during Sunday's 3-1 win over Barcelona.

Impact Kroos didn't have a massive attacking stat line but his one key pass split the defense for Karim Benzema's goal despite a heavy challenge from Sergio Busquets. While Kroos often has better baseline value thanks to his role on set pieces, he didn't have as much of the ball with Barca dominating possession but still made his efforts count. Against other opponents, it should be easier for Kroos to establish his presence offensively.

Impact Kroos crossed to the head of Antonio Rudiger who scored a dramatic, last-gasp equalizer in the 95th minute of Tuesday's game. It was Kroos' second assist of the season in the UCL.

Creates five chances in win Kroos created five chances, sent in five crosses (two accurate) and made two tackles (both won) in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Shakhtar.

Impact Kroos had a good outing during their home win, as dominant as always in the midfield. He logged the second-most chances created, crosses and tackles for his side. The midfielder has two assists to his name so far in nine appearances (seven starts).

OCTOBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Creates two chances in draw Kroos created two chances from five crosses (three accurate) in 74 minutes of Sunday's 1-1 draw with Osasuna.

Impact Kroos hasn't completed the full 90 in three consecutive appearances and has had trouble generating tremendous value with how much more possession the front line takes on. Going into a busy stretch before the World Cup, Kroos has plenty of chances to put up good numbers and a role on set pieces should help him step up.
