Jogi Löw on DFB return from Mats Hummels and Thomas Müller: “possible option”

After the messed up World Cup 2018 in Russia, Mats Hummels, Thomas Müller and Jerome Boateng were sorted out by the national coach. Will at least two players make a comeback soon?

National coach Joachim Löw commented on the upcoming European Championship next summer and also talked about personnel planning. He also spoke about top players Jerome Boateng, Mats Hummels and Thomas Müller who were sorted out after the 2018 World Cup in Russia. “Mats Hummels and Thomas Müller, like Jerome Boateng, are players of exceptional quality and with great merit for Germany,” said Löw in an interview with “Bild am Sonntag”.

In view of the strong performances, especially from Dortmund Hummels and Bayern striker Müller this season, the national coach does not want to rule out a comeback. “I know that I could rely on them as a possible option if we had problems shortly before the European Championships,” said Löw, but also said: “Now it is too early to answer questions that have not yet been asked . ” However, this does not rule out a comeback. Even if he feels particularly inspired by the development of young players.

Löw wants to continue promoting young players

“I see a lot of potential in the young team, whose development is my priority, these players deserve our trust,” said Löw. “They should gain experience, which also includes admitting mistakes.” But is that enough?

Test matches against Spain and Italy are scheduled for March. Afterwards Löw will be a little bit more certain whether he needs Müller and Hummels again for the big tournament.
