Apparently Jonas Hofmann from German champions Bayer 04 Leverkusen can’t have any hopes like that Picture reports.. The attacking midfielder was one of the best scorers in the first half of the season, scoring five goals and providing seven assists.

Völler explains Nagelsmann dilemma before European Championship nomination
Nagelsmann did not make the decision for his European Championship squad easy. It seems as if there are no more big surprises to be expected, the main part of the team has already been decided. DFB sports director Rudi Völler said on Wednesday evening on the sidelines of the announcement of the extension of the association’s sponsorship contract with VW: “Basically everything is fixed.”
Völler reported on what appeared to be a complicated selection process. “Julian noticed that it was different than in the club or at normal international matches,” explained Völler. “I did it myself for four years in the early 2000s. If you then approach a nomination like this, there are of course hardship cases. That’s always been there. Two or three players to whom you then have to explain why it wasn’t enough. There are no 100% truths either.”
Nagelsmann will probably forego the European Championship in 2024 Hummels and Goretzka
It is assumed that Mats Hummels, who was the subject of much controversy on a TV show, and Leon Goretzka will not receive an invitation from Nagelsmann. Völler commented on this without mentioning the names of the two experienced players: “It is always nicer to let the players know that they are there than the other option.”
It remains to be seen whether Nagelsmann will start the preparation with four goalkeepers, which begins on May 26th in Blankenhain in Thuringia. Alexander Nübel from VfB Stuttgart was mentioned by several media on Wednesday as a possible further goalkeeper candidate.
