After Felix Nmecha picked up an injury in March, Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann expressed concern that the Borussia Dortmund midfielder could miss the World Cup as a result.

However, after Nmecha returned to feature in Dortmund’s final two Bundesliga matches of the season, the 25-year-old is now set to be included in the squad, according to Bild.

His Dortmund teammates Nico Schlotterbeck and Waldemar Anton also look set to make the squad, while Karim Adeyemi and Maximilian Beier are both in contention for a place on the wing.

BVB sporting managing director Lars Ricken recently expressed hope of seeing the duo included, arguing: 

“The two of them bring strengths that would help any team over the course of an intense tournament.”

Julian Nagelsmann's Germany squad for the World Cup will be announced on Thursday.
