Notable absentees
The biggest story is the return of 40-year-old Manuel Neuer, who reversed his international retirement to be Germany's number one after ter Stegen's injury.
| Player | Club | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Marc-André ter Stegen | Barcelona | Set to be first choice but ruled out through injury, opening the door for Neuer's return |
| Serge Gnabry | Bayern Munich | The highest-profile omission |
| Niclas Füllkrug | West Ham United | Physical hold-up style didn't fit Nagelsmann's faster attacking shape |
| Karim Adeyemi | Borussia Dortmund | Left out after an inconsistent club season |
| Robert Andrich | Bayer Leverkusen | Cut despite reliable domestic form |
