Joachim Loew set to call up teenagers Jamal Musiala, Florian Wirtz to Germany squad for 2022 World Cup qualifiers

Firstpost  

On Friday, Loew will announce his squad for the qualifiers at home to Iceland, in Romania and home to North Macedonia. Berlin: Germany coach Joachim Loew confirmed Tuesday he plans to call up teenagers Jamal Musiala of Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz for the forthcoming World Cup qualifiers. Due to Germany’s COVID-19 travel restrictions, Loew is unlikely to select Premier League stars such as Chelsea pair Timo Werner and Kai Havertz or Manchester City’s Ilkay Gundogan for the World Cup qualifiers. Despite the impressive form of Thomas Mueller, Loew ruled out recalling the Bayern Munich star or Dortmund defender Mats Hummels for the this month’s internationals. Loew has been under increasing pressure to reverse his 2019 decision to end the international careers of Mueller, Hummels and fellow 2014 World Cup winner Jerome Boateng since Germany were thrashed 6-0 by Spain last November.
