JFor the last three international matches of the German national soccer team in the Corona year 2020, oachim Löw has again nominated an extra-large squad of 29 players with two surprising newcomers. The Augsburg central defender Felix Uduokhai (23) and the full-back Philipp Max (27), who moved from FCA to PSV Eindhoven in the summer, were appointed to the DFB selection for the first time by the national coach on Friday.
The last missing Leroy Sané, Ilkay Gündogan and Thilo Kehrer return. In addition to goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen, who has just made his comeback after a long injury break at FC Barcelona, Löw also renounces Marco Reus again, although the 31-year-old attacking player at Borussia Dortmund is now back in rhythm.
For the November triad, the German team will meet the Czech Republic in Leipzig on Wednesday, November 11th (from 8.45 p.m., live in the FAZ live ticker for the national soccer team and on RTL), followed by two games in the Nations League. On Saturday, November 14th (from 8.45 p.m., live in the FAZ-Liveticker for the Nations League and on ZDF) the German team will receive the Ukraine, and the game will be played again in Leipzig. On Tuesday November 17th (from 8.45 p.m., live in the FAZ-Liveticker for the Nations League and on ZDF) Germany will meet Spain in Seville.
Most of the squad will meet on Monday afternoon in Leipzig. Only after the test match against the Czech Republic will the Bayern block with Manuel Neuer, Serge Gnabry, Leon Goretzka, Joshua Kimmich and Sané as well as Gladbach’s Matthias Ginter, Toni Kroos (Real Madrid) and Timo Werner (FC Chelsea) join the team. These eight players are only intended for the final two Nations League games.
As with the first international trilogy in October, Löw wants to control the high burden on the national players. “At the EM we need players who are fresh after a long season and who are looking forward to success,” said the 60-year-old with a view to 2021. For injuries and corona reasons, Löw is absent from the end of the year Niklas Süle, Kai Havertz, Lukas Klostermann, Julian Draxler, Emre Can and Suat Serdar.
