Mats Hummels, Thomas Mueller Return From Exile To Boost Germany At Euro 2020

Mats Hummels and Thomas Mueller were both recalled by Joachim Loew to a strong-looking German squad for the 2020 European Championship.

The recall of Mats Hummels to the heart of the Germany defence will strengthen their back four at the Euro 2020 finals, based on his impressive performances this season for Borussia Dortmund. Two years after both Hummels, 32, and Thomas Mueller, 31, were axed by Joachim Loew from the Germany squad, the pair have been recalled for the European Championship due to current form. "I'm glad to be back @dfb_team. I'm really up for a new chapter," Hummels posted on Instagram Wednesday. Just as he had for his club, the centre-back can lend experience to a youthful German defence. He has excelled in recent weeks to help Dortmund lift the German Cup and qualify for the Champions League by winning their last six Bundesliga games. Hummels' ability to deliver accurate long-range passes from the back can quickly turn defence into attack.
