JAKARTA - Germany, three European champions, has tried to reverse their disappointment in the last major tournament on its own during Euro 2024. After being knocked out in the World Cup group stage twice in a row and losing in the last 16 to England at Euro 2020, the Germany squad is now under the guidance of Julian Nagelsmann.
Here are the details of the squad's choice:
Although Manuel Neuer returns from a serious leg injury, which creates competition for the starting position with Marc-Andre ter Stegen. The third goalkeeper will belong to Oliver Baumann or Alexander Nubel after Bernd Leno is absent from a shoulder injury.
Antonio Rudiger and Joshua Kimmich with a wealth of experience will lead the back line of Der Panzer. The name of senior stoper Matswas disappeared from the squad, while Jonathan Tah is likely to have a duet with Rudiger at the heart of Germany's defense.
Toni Kroos' return after declaring his retirement from international matches made headlines in the midfield election. He will join Ilkay Gundogan, Jamal Musiala, and Florian Wirtz who promise a dynamic midfield for the German squad.
Niclas Fullkrug is likely to lead the front lines, while Thomas Muller is still an attacking midfielder with a myriad of experience and providing formation flexibility for Germany. But Kai Havertz of Arsenal can also stand out, given his recent performance.

Germany will try to take advantage of the advantages of playing at home to achieve the best performance in the tournament, starting with group matches against Scotland, Hungary, and Switzerland. With a mix of experienced veterans and exciting young talent, the Nagelsmann squad has the potential to keep fans excited and challenging the title.
