Germany have named their 26-member squad for the upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. After a mediocre Euro campaign in 2021, the Die Mannschaft parted ways with the orchestrator of their 2014 World Cup win, Joachim Low. Now under the able leadership of Hansi Flick, they enter the competition with rejuvenated ambitions. Germany are drawn into a tough Group E with Spain, Costa Rica and Japan. So, before the quadrennial event begins, we take a look at Germany’s squad, their schedule and players to watch out for. FIFA World Cup 2022 Schedule for Free PDF Download Online: Get Football Fixtures, Time Table With Match Timings in IST and Venue Details

Germany retained their core group of reliable senior players in the squad in the form of Thomas Muller, Manuel Neuer, Joshua Kimmich and Ilkay Gundogan. Toni Kroos retired from international football after last Euro Cup. Hansi Flick will not get his services in this mega football event. Timo Werner injured himself just ahead of the tournament and got ruled out of the World Cup which is another big blow for the Germans. The major strength for them will be the young rising stars they have in the squad like Leroy Sane, Kai Havertz and Jamal Musiala. Hansi Flick will look forward to the combination of youth and experience in his squad working well and as a result take Germany deep in the tournament and hopefully help them lift the title.
