National team: Despite strong performances, national coach Löw did not consider Kevin Volland for years
Kevin Volland is rewarded for his consistently strong performance in the club jersey after a break of almost five years. His last appearance for the DFB * was on November 15, 2016, when he was substituted on in a friendly against Italy *. In total, the center forward has only played ten internationals.
This small number of missions causes incomprehension among many observers and fans.
Especially in view of the strong performance that Volland has consistently delivered over the years.
In the Bundesliga, the ex-lion has 77 goals and 62 assists in 247 appearances.
Even a move abroad could not stop Volland.
For AS Monaco, he has already scored 18 goals and made eight assists in all competitions.
The center forward could even improve again.
He is still playing for the French championship under former Bayern coach Niko Kovac.
