Reigning champions Germany have made the stunning decision to leave Manchester City winger Leroy Sane out of their squad for World Cup 2018.
The 22-year-old is coming off the back of an impressive season at club level which saw him collect a Premier League and Carabao Cup double.
He will, however, play no part for his country in Russia this summer after being cut from Joachim Low’s 27-man preliminary party.
With that selection narrowed down to 23 ahead of the defence of their global crown, Germany have opted to favour the likes of Julian Draxler and Sebastian Rudy.

I am happy that Marco Reus is going to the world cup, that guy deserves it.

Very strange decision...

Conte do Luis strong thing sha.

My problem is brandt making it and sane dropping out. One analyst say brandt dey technical pass sane! Low must be high on something

It's Guardiola that caused it??

Sane doesn't fit into the squad
If you watched their recent match against Austria you will understand. Sane likes showing skills and all that. Germany doesn't play that kind of game.

Very strange decision...

Yeah, going with the stats, it's a very horrible decision to pick Julian brandit ahead of sane..

These are the things i feel might have influenced the decision of the coach;

—The coach doesn't like him for personal reasons

—He may have a rift with the coach

—he didn't impress during their training

He should have gone to Senegal his father's country where he will be celebrated and not tolerated. At least he could have helped Senegal qualify for the World Cup. And gone into the competition as a major STAR.

Weirdest news i've read all day!
The coach said his final decision was a tough choice btw Sane & Brandt. Durh!!! Like who does that? who/what tha hell Is a Julian Brandt?

Personal reasons definitely! I mean its pretty obvious. Anyways its only sensible if he omitted him for ego-related issues. I'm not gonna have an arrogant muthaeffer mess up my world cup squad If I was the coach. Lol!

His village people at work.

The boy is good.

Germany going to world cup with just two forwards?


They get mind ooo.

The Germans are gonna give him the Sidney Sam treatment. You know Sidney Sam that was doing yanga for 9ja? Where is he today? His time has come and pass. Never to return no more. Such is life. The same thing will happen to Tammy Abraham in England. I just siddon dey observe.
