Below is the call-up list — by positions. The coaching staff selected performers who blend pace and experience and can adapt to different styles. Get acquainted with the team’s squad:
Goalkeepers:
Oliver Baumann (Hoffenheim), Finn Damen (Augsburg), Alexander Nübel (Stuttgart).
Defenders:
Robert Andrich (Bayer), Waldemar Anton (Borussia D), Nnamdi Collins, Robin Koch (both — Eintracht), Maximilian Mittelstädt (Stuttgart), David Raum (Leipzig), Antonio Rüdiger (Real), Jonathan Tah (Bayern).
