The federation said he “did not travel on Monday for the time being due to an infection,” without giving further details or any timeline for when Pavlovic is expected to join the team.
The 20-year-old Pavlovic had a breakout season for Bayern Munich and was one of the few bright spots in a rare trophyless campaign for his club. It's not the first time illness has interfered with his national team plans. Pavlovic was first called up by Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann in March but couldn't play because of tonsillitis. He eventually made his international debut last week in a 0-0 draw with Ukraine.
