Bad news for national coach Julian Nagelsmann (36)!
Regular goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen (31/Barcelona) will miss both games for the German national team. Nagelsmann announced this at the press conference on Friday evening

Nagelsmann: “He (ter Stegen; editor’s note) has acute back pain. And – as of now – will probably return to Barcelona tomorrow morning. Because it makes no sense to stay here now. He can’t play or train.”

The pain got worse from Thursday to Friday. According to Nagelsmann, nothing can yet be said about the exact downtime.
Is Nagelsmann already bringing back ex-captain Manuel Neuer (37)?
No! The national coach immediately made it clear: “We haven’t nominated him just now because it makes sense for him to train at home, so we won’t nominate him again now.” After ter Stegen’s injury, the question arises even more: Whether Nagelsmann Neuer now has to be nominated for the European Championships – even if the Bayern keeper cannot imagine the tournament role as number two. Nagelsmann: “He is welcome to continue to deliver top performances like he did at Bayern – and the players with the best performances ideally play in the European Championships.”

A decision has not yet been made as to who will be in goal for the game against Turkey (Saturday/8.45 p.m.) and against Austria (Tuesday/8.45 p.m.). Sit together in peace.
The national coach continued: “None of us expected Marc’s loss to be so short-term. That’s why we were all a bit surprised.”
The candidates: Oliver Baumann (33/Hoffenheim), Janis Blaswich (32/Leipzig) and Kevin Trapp (33/Frankfurt).
Nagelsmann promises that the style of play will not change without Ter Stegen: “The other three can also play good football. We won’t start pushing every ball forward just because another goalkeeper is playing.”
