Germany’s provisional squad for Euro 2024 was announced on May 16, 2024.
Julian Nagelsmann named 27 players in his provisional squad, ahead of a training camp and warm-up friendly matches taking place in early June ahead of the home tournament.
After a disappointing time at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, in which they were eliminated in the group stage for the second consecutive World Cup, there is huge pressure on the 2014 world champions to impress at their home European Championship. Nagelsmann, who replaced Hansi Flick in September 2023 after a run of disappointing results, is expected to lead the fight for the trophy in front of an expectant home crowd.
Their team will have to be reduced by at least one before the start of the final, meaning these players must impress the coach during training camp and the June friendlies against Ukraine and Greece if they want to earn a spot on the final roster. .
Germany Euro 2024 squad and players
Nagelsmann’s provisional squad for Euro 2024 contains an interesting mix of veteran and less experienced players. Many of those with few international appearances aren’t exactly young either: the squad has an average age of 28.
The obvious most important figures are Thomas muller and Toni Kroos, who on more than one occasion seemed to be approaching the end of their international careers, but who will now form a fundamental part of Nagelsmann’s planning. The same can be said of the goalkeeper. Manuel Neuernow 38 years old, and captain Ilkay Gundogan.
The youngest member of the squad is 20 years old. Alexander Pavlovic, who impressed Bayern Munich this season and effectively usurped Leon Goretzka in midfield for club and country. Bayern teammate Jamal Musiala He is already a star for his country despite his young age, since his Bayer Leverkusen Florian Wirtz.
In the group there are older players with less experience at this level. Stuttgart defenders Waldemar Anton and Maximilian Mittelstadt only three caps between them when the provisional squad was announced, while Brighton & Hove Albion Pascal Brutus It is relatively new on the international stage.
Striker Deniz Undavwho impressed on loan at Stuttgart from Brighton in 2023/24, made his senior team debut in Germany in March.

Can Germany replace players in its squad for Euro 2024?
Once the final squad has been made official, changes can only be made due to injury or illness until the opening match of the tournament.
The UEFA tournament regulations state: “If players or goalkeepers included on the list become seriously injured or ill, they may only be substituted if both their team doctor and a doctor from the UEFA Medical Committee confirm that the injury or illness is serious enough to prevent them from participating in the final phase.
While outfield players must be replaced before their team’s opening match (for Germany, that’s June 14), goalkeepers can be changed before their next scheduled match once the tournament is underway.
