Berlin: Germany are taking 17-year-old striker Youssoufa Moukoko to the World Cup though Borussia Dortmund teammates Marco Reus and Mats Hummels have missed out.
Coach Hansi Flick named his 26man squad for Qatar on Thursday, rewarding Moukoko for scoring six goals and setting up four more in 13 Bundesliga appearances this season. Moukoko is the youngest player to clock 10 career Bundesliga goals. Last season, he became the youngest player to appear in the league.
“Youssoufa gives the team a lot. He’s fast, he’s lively. We’re looking forward to him,” Flick said.
Werder Bremen forward Niclas Füllkrug was another surprise call-up, filling a gap left by Timo Werner’s injury. Füllkrug has 10 goals in 13 Bundesliga games this season.
“Momentum is on his side,” Flick said of Füllkrug, who was playing in the second division last season and had yet to play for Germany.
