Hansi Flick will announce his first DFB squad as national coach on Friday.
Does FCB star Leroy Sané belong to it?
A big name will definitely be missing.
Munich / Frankfurt am Main - Now it's finally starting, the national coach adventure begins for Hansi Flick *.
As a coach of FC Bayern *, the 56-year-old got everything there was to get at club level.
Champions League, championship, DFB Cup, Club World Cup - Flick cleared everything.
On Friday he will be able to do what he was never allowed to do as an FCB coach: put together his squad according to his ideas. But who will be part of it? Flick has announced that it wants to nominate “only the best players”. If it goes after that, there should be no room for the weak and unsettled-looking Leroy Sané *.
However, the
picture
writes
that the winger of the record champions, who could not always perform under Flick last year, will be part of the DFB squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifying games against Liechtenstein (September 2 in St. Gallen), table leaders Armenia ( September 5 in Stuttgart) and in Iceland (September 8).
Thomas Müller * and Marco Reus ("For me one of the best in the last third") will then be part of the DFB squad at the age of 31.
So there will be no major upheaval.
DFB team: will national coach Hansi Flick do without Sané?
A big name is definitely missing
A BVB star will not be there: Mats Hummels *.
Which, however, has nothing to do with its quality or shape.
The BVB defender has been struggling with patellar tendon problems for months and is therefore also missing Borussia Dortmund against TSG Hoffenheim on Friday evening in the Bundesliga.
Toni Kroos had announced his resignation from the national team after the European Championship, while Ilkay Gündogan would like to continue after a conversation with Flick.

Much more than the staff, the game philosophy of the DFB team is likely to change.
While possession football was en vogue under his predecessor Joachim Löw, according to Thomas Müller, Flick is more focused on “taking opponents by surprise like a herd of bulls”.
It will be exciting to see which youngster Flick nominated.
Jamal Musiala has already proven at FC Bayern and the European Championships that he can shine at the top European level.
Florian Wirtz is also trusted to do that.
And otherwise?
Ridle Baku from VfL Wolfsburg should be there.
Maybe even teammate Lukas Nmecha, who is the only real striker available.
The appointment of Salzburg's Speedy Gonzalez, Karim Adeyemi, would be a little surprise.
But maybe Flick, as national coach, will also conjure up a kicker out of his hat that has not been considered so far.
