The nomination of Hansi Flick's DFB squad for the first games of the year is pending.
Isn't Leroy Sané there?
Update from March 17, 11:08 a.m .:
Unlike his colleague Süle, BVB professional Marius Wolf should be part of the squad for the upcoming friendlies of the DFB.
This is also reported by Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg on Twitter.
The 27-year-old has been in excellent shape for weeks.
Hansi Flick will not have missed that either.
It would be Wolf's first nomination for the German national team.
So far there is only one international match with Germany U20 in his CV.
However, that was in 2015.
Plettenberg also writes that Augsburg's Mergim Berisha will also get a chance from Flick first time.
The 24-year-old has scored eight goals in the Bundesliga this season and provided another four assists for his team.
In Germany's U21s, he made 13 appearances and scored once.
In addition, Berisha became European Champion with the DFB U21 in 2021.

Thomas Müller will be absent from the two friendlies.
"He won't be there for the next two measures.
That's discussed with him, I want to give younger players a chance with the national team.
But that doesn't mean it's not an issue for the European Championship," confirmed Flick.
“We appreciate each other and will continue to be in good contact.
Then you will see how it goes on.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for the boys for the first international matches of the year," Müller wrote on his Instagram channel.
