Germany’s Löw names squad ahead of UEFA Nations League opener against FIFA World Cup winners France!

Germany’s under pressure head coach Joachim Löw has announced his 23 players final squad ahead of their UEFA Nations League opener against FIFA World Cup winners France and a friendly against Peru.

The revolution after Germany’s 2018 FIFA World Cup disaster has been postponed with Joachim Löw picking a somewhat expected squad with a few new faces.

Defenders Thilo Kehrer (Paris Saint-Germain) and Nico Schulz (TSG Hoffenheim) have been called up for the first time, alongside Bayer Leverkusen’s teenage attacking midfielder Kai Havertz. Defender Jonathan Tah (Bayer Leverkusen) and attackers Leroy Sané (Manchester City) and Nils Petersen (SC Freiburg) all return to the team. 17 players who went to the World Cup, including captain Manuel Neuer, keep their places for the first Germany squad of the new season, including seven World Cup winners from 2014.

Missing from the team are retired Mesut Özil and Mario Gomez besides the not called-up quartett of Sami Khedira, Sebastian Rudy, Marvin Plattenhardt and Kevin Trapp.
