AC Milan defender Malick Thiaw, who won the UEFA U-21 European Champion with Germany in 2021, has been called up as his replacement.

The players will arrive at the team’s facilities in Frankfurt from this evening, with preparations for the two games then beginning on Monday with a recovery session, due to the fact a number of players are playing for their club sides on Sunday.
