Germany finds themselves in Group A alongside Scotland, Hungary, and Switzerland in the Euro 2024 tournament. It’s an accesible group for Julian Nagelsmann, who aims to secure Germany’s fourth European Cup.
The Germans have assembled a competitive squad but have chosen to leave out some key figures from the final roster. Among them is Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka, who enjoyed a strong end to his Bundesliga season but ultimately didn’t make the cut. While no specific reason was provided, the decision appears to be based on performance.
Goretzka had a relatively subdued season with Bayern Munich, scoring just 6 goals in 42 appearances during the campaign. He joins Borussia Dortmund’s Mats Hummels as notable absentees from the Germany squad.
