New Delhi: Ahead of the Euro 2024 which is scheduled to begin on June 15, Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann announced the preliminary squad he will be fielding for the friendlies.

The biggest talking point of the squad was the exclusion of Mats Hummels and Leon Goretzka as both are veterans of their country and Hummels has had an exemplary season with Borussia Dortmund which has seen the black and yellow reach the finals of the tournament.

“I had a long talk with both Hummels and Goretzka. They're very disappointed as they’re out of the list. I tried to explain why they weren't included. It's understandable that they are sad,” said Nagelsmann at the squad announcement.
