Since the start of 2023, Werner has only featured twice for the Germany national team, making his failure to make the squad unsurprising compared to some of the names already confirmed to have missed out.
Currently on loan at Tottenham, the 28-year-old has struggled to rekindle the form that forced Chelsea into splashing £47.5 million on him in the summer of 2020. Despite moving back to RB Leipzig, Werner has been unable to find his scoring touch, and a move to the Premier League has failed to persuade Julian Nagelsmann to select him, as Werner’s international career appears all but over.
Nevertheless, one emission from the squad that can be considered unfortunate is that of Serge Gnabry. The Bayern Munich winger has endured a torrid season, riddled with long-term injuries.
