The World Cup starts next year. For Leroy Sané, there is currently no place for Leroy Sané – for a certain reason.

Summer has several changes for Leroy Sané: First, the offensive player from FC Bayern switched to Galatasaray Istanbul. Now the 29-year-old will miss the upcoming international break in the coming week, in which Germany meets Slovakia and Northern Ireland as part of the World Cup qualification. Sané will only watch from home.

The reason? Julian Nagelsmann explained: “Leroy is now playing in a league that is a bit worse than the Bundesliga. He has to stand out more,” said the national coach when he was known on Wednesday in Frankfurt/Main. Nagelsmann expects “no miracle things, but a certain quota”. He has “not yet reached” this.

Nagelsmann and Sané are therefore in the “good exchange”. So the offensive player also made it clear: “Everything is fine. He told me that I would still be part of the planning. We have a very good relationship,” said Sané to the sports information service after his non-consideration.

The 70-time international now applies: back to the German team as soon as possible. “I just have to keep going, find my rhythm and then the Champions League will soon start. The season is still a long time,” said Sané.

So the professional still has some time to play in Nagelsmann’s focus again: In the gala jersey, Sané should “prove itself and score and give some goals and templates,” said Nagelsmann. It started in the third Süper-Lig game Galatasarays against KaySerispor in the third Süper League game: the professional scored the 4-0 final score in added time, previously he put the second goal by players Eren Elmalı.
