EM 2021: Hummels is probably going with it - a surprising statement from Reus causes horror among fans

Mats Hummels is apparently celebrating his comeback in the German national team.

BVB team-mate Marco Reus is not available for the EM.

Update from May 18, 7.40 p.m.:

While Mats Hummels is about to return to the German national team, his BVB colleague Marco Reus obviously has other plans in the summer. The 31-year-old announced his EM exit one day before the nomination. “After a complicated, exhausting season that was“ thank goodness ”successful in the end, I decided, together with the national coach, not to go to the European Championship,” wrote Reus on his Instagram account “marcinho11”.

“This decision was very difficult for me because I am always full of pride when I am allowed to appear for my country.

But after a very intense year for me personally and achieving my goals at BVB, I made the decision to give my body time to recover! ", Reus gave the reason for his rejection.

After a strong increase in form in the last few weeks *, Reus was again increasingly among the candidates for the EM.

The BVB captain played his last international match in October 2019. Nevertheless, he wishes "Jogi and our team all the best for the European Championship and will keep our fingers crossed as a fan."

This statement causes horror among the fans.

"It's a shame, I was so happy to see you play in the national team," said a disappointed user.

A fan fears without Reus that the German team will be eliminated from the preliminary round.

"We are lost without Marco," says another user.

But many fans can understand Reus' decision due to his long history of injuries and give him credit for the fact that he "made this difficult decision."

EM 2021: Mats Hummels is about to return to the DFB

In addition to Thomas Müller from FC Bayern,

Mats Hummels * from Borussia Dortmund should also be part of the 26-man squad

, according to

Sport1

information.

This means that shortly before the tournament, the two retired world champions will be brought back to the club.

According to media reports, Jerome Boateng will not make a comeback.

Hummels played the last of his 70 international matches in November 2018. In March 2019, the 32-year-old, Müller and Boateng were retired by national coach Löw.

On Monday,

Bild

had already reported that Müller will return to the DFB team * for the pan-European European championship from June 11 to July 11.

In the past few weeks, Löw had repeatedly made it clear that he would interrupt the upheaval that had been initiated if it were necessary.

"We checked everything that was possible again," he said last.

The 61-year-old certainly has a surprising history: Before the 2014 World Cup triumph, he conjured Shkodran Mustafi out of his hat, who was hardly known even to insiders.

In 2006, as assistant to Jürgen Klinsmann, he was responsible for the squad sensation David Odonkor.

In 2012 he appointed 18-year-old Julian Draxler without prior nomination and took Marvin Plattenhardt with him to the 2018 World Cup debacle.

I do not fight back if I am asked to help again.

Hummels would not fall into this category.

The national coach had to keep hearing that he should finally pardon the rejected 2014 world champion.

After the 0: 6 disaster in Spain and the 1: 2 disgrace against North Macedonia, the pressure increased enormously.

"I do not fight back if I am asked to help again," said Hummels at last.

Now it could actually be used again.

We accompany the squad nomination on Wednesday, from 12.30 p.m. in the live ticker.
