More leaks…
Bayern Munich attacker Serge Gnabry is on his way back top the German national team per Sport Bild journalist Christian Falk and Tobi Altschäffl (via @iMiaSanMia):
Serge Gnabry will be called up by Julian Nagelsmann for the Nations League Final Four [
This selection is a little curious by Julian Nagelsmann — if true. No one doubts Gnabry’s ability, but it is not as if he had a great season. Regardless, this could be a nice jolt of confidence to the winger.
Andrich back, too
Robert Andrich did not play a major role at Bayer Leverkusen in the second half of the season, but will get the nod for Germany per Sky Sport journalist Marlon Irlbacher (via @iMiaSanMia):
Robert Andrich will be called up by Julian Nagelsmann for the Nations League Final Four even though he hasn’t been a regular starter at Bayer Leverkusen recently [
