Marco Reus in Hansi Flick's first Germany squad
Marco Reus missed UEFA Euro 2020 in order to work on his fitness, but the Borussia Dortmund captain has been named in Hansi Flick's first squad as Germany coach.
Germany will get their 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign underway in September, when they will meet Group J opponents Liechtenstein, Armenia and then Iceland.
Reus - who has 13 goals and nine assists in 44 appearances for his country - has not features since helping Die Mannschaft to a 3-0 win over Estonia in UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying back in October 2019.
The 32-year-old has hit the ground running so far in 2021/22, with two goals and two assists in four games in all competitions for Borussia Dortmund, though, and he joins 106-cap Thomas Müller as well as new Hoffenheim left-back David Raum in a squad that boasts a blend of youth and experience.
