“I think hydration is an important topic,” Gotze said. “Drinking plenty of fluids is especially important for athletes.
“You need to find the right balance and provide your body with as much fluid as it needs to supply your muscles and body so that you can optimise your performance.
“I think it’s crucial for athletes to get plenty of fluids whether their regime is intensive or not. For me generally, I eat and drink a lot so that I’m always at the top of my game.
“How much you need to drink depends on a lot of factors. Are you training outside, is it hot, is it cold? There are a lot of factors to take into consideration."
