In terms of sport, the upcoming international matches are no longer relevant. Qualification for the 2022 World Cup is already certain. National coach Flick can experiment – and has invited a new face.
National coach Hansi Flick has nominated Wolfsburg’s Lukas Nmecha for the games against Liechtenstein (11/11) and Armenia (14/11). The DFB announced this on Friday afternoon.
Somewhat surprisingly, Julian Draxler and Christian Günter are also there. Goalkeepers Kevin Trapp and Julian Brandt are also there again.
“Lukas is very active”
The national coach at “DFB TV” justifies his decision with regard to Nmecha as follows: “Lukas is very active, can hold the ball well. He is walking well and scored a nice goal against Salzburg. He emphasized that he can score goals and those are things that are important as a central striker. ” The U21 European champion could make his debut for the national team in the stadium of his club Wolfsburg.
Kvin Trapp, who was last famous, is there again. “He has held up very well over the past few weeks, has shown a very good performance. We want to have everyone together again and use the short time to see one or the other in training. We wanted Kevin Trapp to be there again because he deserved it “, justified Flick the nomination.
The national coach also knew how to praise the defensive returnee from Freiburg, Christian Günter: “He is in good shape and on a very good path with Freiburg in the league. Christian is one of those who do very well when it comes to our game He can therefore give us good impetus when it comes to wing play. ” Defenders Lukas Klostermann and Emre Can, on the other hand, are missing just as injured as striker Timo Werner.
Hummels again not there
Recently there was also speculation about whether Flick Mainz’s goal scorer Jonathan Burkhardt was nominated, but he received no invitation – neither did world champion Mats Hummels.
“I am in contact with him and his trainer. He is 100 percent on the way. But now he can concentrate on his training. He has played a lot of games recently and now has the opportunity to recharge and regenerate his battery.” said Flick about the defense boss of BVB.
