Can, who captained Borussia Dortmund in their Champions League loss to Real Madrid in June, made his Germany debut in 2015 but had not played for his country since September 2023.This marks the first time Nagelsmann has called the Dortmund player into the squad, with Can’s last nomination taking place under previous manager Hansi Flick.

“We wanted another defensive midfielder in the squad,” Nagelsmann said in a statement on Wednesday, saying Can had “immediately expressed his enthusiasm and willingness” to join the team. “We wanted to have another player in the squad who has played a lot of games, who knows how to deal with the pressure. can fulfill the profile that we can use now.”After missing selection in May, the 30-year-old Can said he “hoped there was a way into the side through the back door”.“It’s a real shame for Pavlo,” said Bayern teammate Jamal Musiala at a press conference on Wednesday.

Nagelsmann decided to call up Can rather than recall Goretzka, who has scored 14 goals in 57 Germany games. — AFP
