Ilkay Gündogan wants to continue playing for the DFB team – Flick informs

On the way to the home EM

Ilkay Gündogan would like to continue playing for the German national team. According to “dpa” information, the 32-year-old professional from Manchester City has already informed national coach Hansi Flick about his decision. “sports1“had first reported on Saturday about the important personal details for the national team on the way to the home European Championship.

Gündogan, who had asked for time to think about it after the disappointing World Cup, left his decision open for a long time. In Qatar, the Man City captain was in the starting lineup for all three German games and was one of the better internationals. The first appearances of the DFB-Elf after the World Cup disappointment increase at the end of the month. In Mainz on March 25th they play against Peru, three days later they play against Belgium in Cologne.

Gündogan made his international debut in October 2011 under Joachim Löw in a 3-1 win in the European Championship qualifier in Belgium. He has now completed 66 games. The career of the technically talented midfielder in the national jersey was repeatedly interrupted by injuries.

The tournament history of Gündogan is also full of disappointments. He was present at the EM 2012, but was not used. He missed the 2014 World Cup and thus the triumph in Brazil due to long-term back problems and he had to do without the 2016 European Championship due to knee problems. Gündogan wants to know again in 2024.
