Germany coach Joachim Löw is planning to recall Borussia Dortmund centre-back Mats Hummels and Bayern München forward Thomas Müller for this summer's European Championship, according to Kicker.
Kicker cites 'well-informed sources' as saying that Löw wants to bring back the two experienced stars, who haven't played for Germany since they were axed from the national team set-up in March 2019.
Löw, who recently announced that he will be stepping back from his job after the Euros, has opened the door for a possible return for Müller, Hummels and Jerome Boateng last month, telling ARD:
"A topic that is regularly talked about, and rightly so, is that of Müller, Boateng and Hummels.
"What I can say about that is that I'm a coach who thinks in two-year cycles. I think after 2018 and after the Nations League campaign, it was necessary to have a change and to begin the process of rebuilding. When you do that, you should never interrupt it and go in the opposite direction.
"However, through the pandemic over the last year, we've had almost a year stolen from us. So, you can start to think about interrupting a phase of rebuilding, and doing so if it's absolutely necessary, and if me and my coaching staff feel we need an extra percentage point here or there, or someone else to give a new energy or leadership in sporting terms."
