Germany squad Euro 2020: Joachim Low recalls Bayern star after successful season

Joachim Low has revealed his 26-man Germany squad Euro 2020 that has been selected to represent the 2014 World Cup winners in the upcoming European Championship. The German tactician was allowed to have three additional inclusions apart from the usual 23-man squad as UEFA has allowed an increase in the number of players amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. With the 26 names called up for national duty, Joachim Löw has made a massive change by recalling Bayern Munich star Thomas Muller back into the German national team set up.

Joachim Low had earlier informed Thomas Muller and Mats Hummels about his plans of not including the duo in the national team for any upcoming matches and had started to exclude Muller, Jerome Boateng and Hummels from the Germany squad back in March 2019. However, since then, the 61-year-old manager has decided to call up the veterans after ignoring them for over two years. He is expected to use the veterans' experience and will look to navigate a tough group that consists of 2016's finalists France and Portugal.

The 31-year-old has also provided 36 assists to his fellow countrymen ad was also instrumental in Germany World Cup win back in 2014. After not being called up for over two years, Muller is back in the German team and will be seen donning the national colours once again.

Another surprising addition to Joachim Löw is Bayern Munich's 17-year-old Jamal Musiala. The young midfielder has made the cut and is part of the national team for the upcoming Euro 2020 after choosing to represent Germany over England and making his senior international debut in March.
