Borussia Dortmund’s Marco Reus has been omitted from Germany’s Euro
2016 squad but Manchester United’s Bastian Schweinsteiger has been
included.
Reus, 27, missed the 2014 World Cup and has had recent injury concerns.
Fellow
midfielder Schweinsteiger, 31, has not played since picking up a knee
injury in March while away with Germany but has been selected by Joachim
Low.
Bayer Leverkusen’s Julian Brandt, Karim Bellarabi and Hoffenheim’s Sebastian Rudy have all been left out.
“The medical staff could not give a clear prognosis for Marco,” Low said of Reus’s omission, which comes on his birthday.
“He
has massive injury problems and the medical staff was very sceptical
about his ability to last through the coming weeks and such a gruelling
tournament.
“It is a bitter decision and bitter for Marco.”
Liverpool
midfielder Emre Can, Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil and former Gunners attacking
midfielder Lukas Podolski, now at Turkish side Galatasaray, have all
been included as the world champions search for their first European
title since 1996.
