Bishop because of club World Cup at Nagelsmann and not with the U21

Tom Bischoff is for the first time. The 19 -year -old midfielder is moving from TSG Hoffenheim to FC Bayern Munich for the new season. Since he will take part in the record champion in the club World Cup (June 14th to July 13th in the United States), the DFB waives a nomination of the exceptional talent for the U21 European Championship, which is partly carried out in parallel to the club World Cup. Bishop recently played for Germany’s U20.

Bishop skipped a step, Nagelsmann explains the nomination, which he also made because Jamal Musiala was still missing after an injury. Antonio Rüdiger and Kai Havertz are also missing in the squad, who recently gave his comeback at Arsenal after almost three months of injury.

Nagelsmann: “You really wanted to be there”

He replied with Musiala, Rüdiger and Havertz, says Nagelsmann. They all assured him that they would like to be there. In the end, however, he made the decision not to nominate her yet.

For reasons of injuries, the national coach has to do without Nico Schlotterbeck and Tim Kleindienst compared to the quarter -finals against Italy. “Of course we would like to have them”says Nagelsmann.

In addition, Jonathan Burkardt, Stefan Ortega and Jamie Leweling are missing in the squad in March.
