Flick has named the 26 players he will take to Qatar, as one Bundesliga veteran misses out due to injury while a host of promising youngsters make the cut.

Germany, one of the favorites for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, have just announced their final squad for the upcoming tournament 10 days before its kick-off on November 20.

The European giants, who lifted the trophy in 2014, will go in search of trophy no.5 when they touch down in Qatar. Unfortunately, Hansi Flick's side will be without one Bundesliga ace for this competition.

And to no one's surprise, that man is Marco Reus, the immensely talented but injury-riddled attacker. The 33-year-old has featured in nine games for Dortmund in the German top-flight this season and with the player being 33, the hope was that he could feature in the FIFA World Cup in what should be his final opportunity. Sadly, an ankle injury has robbed him of this chance and the BVB captain will instead miss a fourth major tournament, having watched Brazil 2014 and the 2016 and 2020 Euros from home.

However, that opened up a slot for another Dortmund ace and that is highly-rated youngster Youssoufa Moukoko, who scored a brilliant goal in his side's 3-0 weekend victory over VFL Bochum. However, there was no room for Mats Hummels, who played a major role in his country's 2014 triumph, and Inter Milan's Robin Gosens.

Outside of that, there weren't many surprises with Flick's pick. Timo Werner had been ruled out due to injury while former Arsenal keeper Bernd Leno missed out on a spot to Kevin Trapp, with Manuel Neuer and Marc-Andre ter Stegen being the undisputed no.1 and no.2 goalkeepers, respectively.

Southampton talent Armel Bella-Kotchap got a call-up, as did Mario Gotze, the man who scored the winning goal in the 2014 final versus Argentina. Elsewhere, Jamal Musiala, one of the hottest young players in the world, joins fellow Bayern Munich superstars Thomas Muller, Serge Gnabry, and Leroy Sane in the midfield/attack.
