18-year-old Jamal Musiala from FC Bayern Munich and 17-year-old Florian Wirtz from Bayer 04 Leverkusen may be about to make their international debuts. “You have earned the nomination with good performance recently,” said national coach Joachim Loew according to a message from the DFB. “But especially with such young players, it is our responsibility to bring them carefully and step by step to the highest level. Both have huge potential.”
Continue without Müller, Hummels and Boateng
Thomas Müller, Mats Hummels and Jérôme Boateng are missing from the list. They are initially not an option, said Löw recently. The trio knows the processes in the DFB team well and can easily be integrated with a view to the EM, said Löw. A final decision cannot be expected until the EM nomination in May.
Younes returns after a long time
Amin Younes from Eintracht Frankfurt is back in the squad for the first time after his last appearance in October 2017 in the World Cup qualification against Azerbaijan.
Marc-André ter Stegen (FC Barcelona), Emre Can (Borussia Dortmund), Lukas Klostermann (RB Leipzig) and Kai Havertz (FC Chelsea) are also returning, they were absent from the international matches in November. “The arrival of the national team in Düsseldorf is planned for Monday afternoon,” said the DFB.

National players from the Premier League are allowed to enter
On Thursday it became clear that the national players who are active in England are allowed to enter the country. Although Great Britain is considered a virus variant area in Germany according to the Robert Koch Institute, players can come to the games without quarantine. According to the DFB, this was decided by the Duisburg health department. The approval could be given “in accordance with the currently valid Corona entry regulation North Rhine-Westphalia”, but is bound to “extremely strict additional requirements” of the DFB. The regulation of the authorities generally provides for an exemption for those arriving from Great Britain to exercise their profession.
Ilkay Gündogan, Timo Werner, Kai Havertz, Antonio Rüdiger and Bernd Leno are ready for action.
