Germany's Euro 2024 squad has been announced, with uncapped Bayern Munich midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic, Hoffenheim's forward Maximilian Beier and Stuttgart forward Chris Führich the big surprise inclusions.
Alongside veterans Manuel Neuer, Thomas Müller, Toni Kroos, and captain Ilkay Gündogan, the preliminary squad also included Führich's Stuttgart teammates striker Deniz Undav and defenders Waldemar Anton and Maximilian Mittelstädt. Leon Goretzka, Mats Hummels and Julian Brandt were surprise omissions, with head coach Julian Nagelsmann preferring the aforementioned Pavlovic and Eintracht Frankfurt's Robin Koch.
The 27-man squad will be reduced to the tournament maximum of 26 by June 7 at the latest, when Germany play their final friendly before the Euros. Nagelsmann confirmed, however, that all four goalkeepers will go to the Euros, meaning one outfield player will likely be dropped.
The manner in which the German FA (DFB) announced the squad caused perhaps even more of a stir than the choice of players.
