Leroy Sane in latest Germany squad after shocking World Cup snub in post-Ozil era

  /  autty

Germany national team has announced their latest squad and Joachim Low has selected Leroy Sane after omitting the Manchester City star for the World Cup.

Bayer Leverkusen's Kai Havertz is one of three new faces called by Joachim Low for Germany's opening fixture of the inaugural UEFA Nations League against world champions France and their international friendly with Peru.

19-year-old midfielder Havertz, the current Germany U20 captain, is joined in the senior side by fellow newcomers Nico Schulz (Hoffenheim) and Thilo Kehrer (PSG).

Löw has also recalled Nils Petersen (Freiburg), Leroy Sane (Manchester City) and Jonathan Tah (Leverkusen) - three players who missed out on a place in Germany's final 2018 FIFA World Cup squad.

Germany face France at Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena on 6 September, before taking on Peru at Hoffenheim's WIRSOL Rhien-Neckar-Arena on 9 September.
