Thomas Müller and Mats Hummels named in Julian Nagelsmann’s first Germany squad
Julian Nagelsmann has included the experienced duo of Thomas Müller and Mats Hummels in his first Germany squad for October’s friendlies against the USA and Mexico.
Nagelsmann became Germany’s 12th head coach when appointed on 22 September to replace Hansi Flick, who was dismissed two weeks prior after a poor run of results.
The former Hoffenheim, RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich boss has named a 26-man squad, with 34-year-old centre-back Hummels recalled for the first time since winning his 76th cap at the UEFA European Championship in 2021. Müller (123 caps, also 34) is again included after he was restored to the national team for September’s friendlies against Japan and France.
