This being the case, the German will be off the pitch until the end of the year and will watch the planetary event on television, as will figures such as Paul Pogba, N’Golo Kanté, Pedro Neto, Diogo Jota, Jesús Corona and Georginio Wijnaldum, to name a few.
It is expected that in the next few days the four-time world champion squad will deliver the final list to face Spain, Costa Rica and Japan.
