On Wednesday morning, the DFB announced the positive corona tests from Manuel Neuer and Leon Goretzka. The Bayern duo has already left the national team. In the afternoon, Julian Brandt from BVB also came – but not because of a COVID infection.
The 26-year-old’s corona test was negative. However, Brandt caught a flu infection, as the DFB announced. This means that the offensive player, like Neuer and Goretzka, will miss the two Nations League duels against Hungary on Friday and England on Monday (8.45 p.m. each).
With Oliver Baumann, national coach Hansi Flick has already nominated another goalkeeper. In all probability, Flick will also react to the field players.
