Joachim Low understands Toni Kroos's back-up concerns

Germany coach Joachim Low has said that he understands the concerns of midfielder Toni Kroos, who has been a substitute for both of Germany's Euro 2012 fixtures so far.

Low admitted that Kroos has come to him with his frustrations, but believes that this reaction is normal for a player who is first-choice for his club but cannot dislodge Mesut Ozil from Germany's XI.

Low is quoted by Ruhr Nachrichten as saying: "I do not know whether [his speaking to me] is a complaint. He said that he is unhappy to not be playing. To me, this is perfectly normal.

"[The subs] all behave correctly. I see a real desire to play. We have a great bench. There will be situations when we will have to make headway. Then, we will be in need of everyone."

Germany have maximum points so far in Group B.
