Germany, Manuel Neuer, Kai Havertz, Serge Gnabry
21 May 2026
Germany named their World Cup squad with Manuel Neuer returning from international retirement as first-choice goalkeeper. Kai Havertz was included, while Serge Gnabry missed out as Julian Nagelsmann settled his final tournament group before the summer campaign.
Neuer’s return gives Germany an experienced No. 1 for the summer, while the attacking selection leaves no room for Gnabry. Nagelsmann’s squad choice signals a blend of senior reliability and current form before the tournament starts.
