Julian Nagelsmann apparently has no place in the squad for the home European Championship for Bayern veteran Leon Goretzka. A decision that hits the 29-year-old hard. He had been fighting for a place in the DFB squad until the very end. 

The German squad for the home European Championship is currently being presented bit by bit. The entire team will be announced by national coach Julian Nagelsmann on Thursday. He will then probably also explain his decisions for and against individual players.

Goretzka will be one of the players for whom it was not enough in the end, reports "Sport Bild". According to the report, the veteran will have to make way for team-mate Aleksandar Pavlovic, whose nomination has already been officially confirmed.

Hummels also not included
A bitter decision for Goretzka. After all, the 29-year-old put in a good effort in the second half of the season and tried to buck Bayern's downward spiral. Nevertheless, he now has to bury his dream of playing in a tournament at home.

With Goretzka, the DFB team is definitely missing a mental monster. Alongside Mats Hummels, who surprisingly has to make way for Robin Koch, this is the next decision against an experienced international.
