Under-pressure Germany coach Flick drops Werner, Goretzka for friendlies

The Hindu  

Germany coach Hansi Flick on Thursday left several established internationals, including Leon Goretzka and Timo Werner, out of his squad to face Japan and France in friendlies early next month, with his future on the line after a bad run. Germany, which hosts the Euros next year, has been struggling for form and has won just one of its last five matches since its shock World Cup group stage exit in December. Flick did not include RB Leipzig striker Werner or Bayern Munich midfielder Goretzka, who has 53 caps, in his squad, with David Raum and Thilo Kehrer also notable absentees. Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah returned to the squad following a strong campaign last season, while the speedy Robin Gosens, who is enjoying his Bundesliga start with Union Berlin, was also recalled.
