Five FC Bayern players have been named in the Germany squad for June’s Euro 2020 qualifiers. Joshua Kimmich, Niklas Süle, Leon Goretzka and Serge Gnabry are joined by Manuel Neuer in Joachim Löw’s 22-man selection for the matches in Belarus (in Borisov on 8 June at 20:45 CEST) and against Estonia (in Mainz on 11 June at 20:45 CEST). The call-up for the Germany captain is currently tentative as the 33-year-old waits to see how his calf injury heals.
All five players were named in Löw’s starting XI for the 3-2 win in the Netherlands that got qualification underway in March. The current squad will gather for a training camp on 2 June ahead of the upcoming two matches.
