Leon Goretzka was recently not nominated by Julian Nagelsmann for the 2024 European Championship in Germany. The Bayern star has already played 57 international matches for Germany.
Nagelsman will soon name his final squad for the European Championship until the 36-year-old has time to think about his future. Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel: “Leon is very disappointed. It was a very hard decision,” said Tuchel after the Bayern star was not nominated for the DFB team in mid-March. The problem: Returnee Toni Kroos and Leverkusen clearer Robert Andrich have found themselves stuck in the central midfield. Behind them, Premier League star Pascal Groß is lurking for his chance. İlkay Gündoğan, who is actually at home in central midfield, was therefore moved up to the 10 by national coach Nagelmann. So there is no room for Gibertka there either. This means: GoretZka can only hope that one of the central. midfielders falls into a glaring performance gap and that a place in the starting eleven would be foreseeable. If at the same time his own performance remains consistently strong.
