Nico Schlotterbeck has clinched his spot in Germany’s squad for the forthcoming European Championship, riding on the wave of his stellar performances for Borussia Dortmund.
After an absence of eight months from the national team, Schlotterbeck is making a triumphant return to the fold. Initially reported by Tagesschau and subsequently confirmed by the DFB, the Borussia Dortmund stalwart will be a key figure in Germany’s Euro 2024 campaign.
Schlotterbeck’s selection is a testament to his unwavering form for Borussia Dortmund, particularly during the latter stages of the season. At 24 years old, he has played an instrumental role in BVB’s journey to the Champions League final, earning him a well-deserved call-up after the pivotal clash against Real Madrid at Wembley Stadium on June 1.
Julian Nagelsmann’s decision to overlook Schlotterbeck since taking charge in October is now a thing of the past, with the defender’s inclusion underscoring Germany’s determination to secure Euro 2024 glory on home turf.
With the provisional squad set to be unveiled on Thursday, speculation is rife regarding the potential inclusion of other Borussia Dortmund luminaries. Niclas Füllkrug is among those rumored to be in contention, alongside established figures like Mats Hummels, Julian Brandt, and Karim Adeyemi.
Germany’s Euro 2024 campaign kicks off against Scotland on June 14, followed by encounters with Hungary and Switzerland in the group stage.
