Marco Reus will return to the German national team against Hungary
The biggest returner to the German squad is undoubtedly Marco Reus, who can wear the national team shirt again after almost a year – he last played for the national team last November, in the 9-0 World Cup qualifier against Lichtenstein, scoring one goal and giving two assists. assist.
This year, Reus missed the warm-up matches in March due to illness, and canceled the Nations League matches in June due to a muscle injury. Now, however, Flick is back in Dortmund’s 33-year-old star, who has three goals and four assists in nine games for his club this season.
Alongside him, the German squad is full of stars. First of all, it is necessary to mention the seven players of Bayern München, who all played in the BL match against Barcelona with a score of 2-0 on Tuesday. Leroy Sané also happened to score a goal against the Catalans, and he is currently one of the most in-form German footballers, as the 26-year-old winger started the season with five goals and three assists in ten games.
It is interesting that in the Germany-Hungary match in Leipzig on Friday next week, there may be more Hungarians playing on the “home field” than Germans, as Flick included two Leipzig players (David Raum, Timo Werner) and Marco Rossi included three (Péter Gulácsi ), Willi Orbán, Dominik Szoboszlai).
The Germans have already played 13 games under Flick’s management and have not lost any of them, but they are currently in second place behind Hungary in the group in the Nations League. After the match against the Hungarians, the Germans will close the group stage against the English in London on Monday, September 26.
The latter will be Germany’s last game before Flick has to name a reduced squad for the team on November 13 ahead of the World Cup in Qatar, which starts on November 23.
