The DFB-Team’s ninth consecutive U21 European Championship qualifying victory guaranteed themselves a spot at next summer’s tournament, which takes place in Poland. Stefan Kuntz’s men beat Russia 4-3 in Ingolstadt on Friday night. The players and staff travel to St. Pölten in Austria for their final qualifier tomorrow, with that match taking place on Tuesday at 18:00 CEST.
However, Matthias Ginter (Borussia Dortmund) and Benjamin Henrichs (Bayer 04 Leverkusen) will not be making the journey; they are returning to their clubs instead. Kuntz had indicated that this was a possibility ahead of the current international break, citing the fact that the individuals in question had played a lot of football in recent weeks and shouldn’t be overburdened as the reason behind the decision. This therefore means that the squad for the final Group Seven fixture consists of 20 players.
