New Delhi, May 16 (IANS) Ahead of the Euro 2024 which is scheduled to begin on June 15, Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann announced the preliminary squad he will be fielding for the friendlies.
The biggest talking point of the squad was the exclusion of Mats Hummels and Leon Goretzka as both are veterans of their country and Hummels has had an exemplary season with Borussia Dortmund which has seen the black and yellow reach the finals of the tournament.
“I had a long talk with both Hummels and Goretzka. They’re very disappointed as they’re out of the list. I tried to explain why they weren’t included. It’s understandable that they are sad,” said Nagelsmann at the squad announcement.
Although the official squad announcement took place much later, Germany used the opportunity of the home Euros in great fashion as they announced individual players through ‘leaks’ including the country’s social media influences, music artists, bakeries and many more
Deutschland will be facing Ukraine and Greece in the final two friendlies before June 7 which is when the deadline of announcing the squad is set for. The two friendlies will see one player having to be removed from the 27 man squad as players will be allowed to represent the country.
