Great news for Maximilian Beier, Oliver Baumann and TSG Hoffenheim: a week before the start of UEFA EURO 2024 in Germany, the two TSG first-team players can now finally look forward to the European Championship in their home country. Oliver Baumann and Maximilian Beier are in national coach Julian Nagelsmann’s final squad. Beier, who made his international debut in the 0-0 draw against Ukraine on Monday and immediately impressed, is in the squad alongside Oliver Baumann, who is still waiting to make his first appearance in the shirt of the Germany national team. Just like Beier, Baumann will be taking part in an international tournament with the senior national team for the first time. The TSG duo did not take part in the 2-1 victory against Greece.
Julian Nagelsmann had initially nominated a 27-man squad but has now had to omit one player for the European Championship. The ex-TSG head coach decided to leave out Stuttgart’s Alexander Nübel.
David Jurásek also experienced a special moment on Friday. The Czech scored his first international goal in the 7-1 victory over Malta. Games involving Jacob Bruun Larsen, Andrej Kramaric, Florian Grillitsch and Attila Szalai will follow on Friday.
