Andre Schurrle has questioned whether Wayne Rooney would be good enough to get into the German national team.
The Manchester United striker is likely to take part in Tuesday's friendly match between England and Germany at Wembley.
"Rooney is a great player but we have good quality too in every position, and maybe twice so I don't know if he would play," the Daily Mail quotes the Chelsea winger as saying.
The 28-year-old from Croxteth has scored five goals and assisted four in 10 Premier League appearances
