A failure in the German EM squad at the beginning of the tournament is becoming more and more concrete.
National coach Jogi Löw does not plan against France with Leon Goretzka.
Seefeld - The heart of the German national team * at the upcoming European Championship is definitely the midfield.
National coach Jogi Löw can choose from a wide selection of world-class players who are unparalleled in Europe.
However, the 61-year-old will most likely have to do without one of his top performers.
EM 2021: Löw has to reschedule - Goretzka is "probably out of the question"
As the national coach announced on Sunday at the DFB training camp in Seefeld, Austria, Bayern's Leon Goretzka will not * only miss the EM dress rehearsal on Monday against Latvia, but also not be an option for the German national team's first EM group game * against France.
He will definitely need a few more days, maybe a week, to get into team training.
He will probably not be considered for the first game, ”said Löw on Sunday.
Goretzka, who is currently completing an individual development program in Seefeld, has not been able to collect any match practice for four weeks.
The 26-year-old tore a muscle fiber * on matchday 32 against Borussia Mönchengladbach and missed the last two games of the season.

Löw still plans to integrate Goretzka into the midfield center of the national team during the course of the tournament.
“He'll grow in a bit and work his way into it.
At the moment he is missing from the headquarters ”, said the national coach.
In addition to Goretzka's Bayern colleague Joshua Kimmich, Toni Kroos, Ilkay Gündogan, Florian Neuhaus or Emre Can Goretzka's part in the defensive midfield could take over.
Gündogan, like the Chelsea players, Kai Havertz, Timo Werner and Antonio Rüdiger, will be available for the friendly against Latvia on Monday.
The four players later came to the training camp in Seefeld due to the Champions League final.
