Berlin - Germany have included 2014 World Cup-winning goalkeeper Manuel Neuer in their final squad for the 2018 tournament, even though he has only just returned from a long-term absence through injury.
But coach Joachim Loew omitted Manchester City striker Leroy Sane from his 23-player list.
Sane - who was named the PFA's Young Player of the Year - has been in impressive form this season scoring 14 goals and providing 15 assists as Pep Guadiola's side won the English Premiership in record-breaking fashion.
The other players to miss out on the final squad are goalkeeper Bernd Leno, defender Jonathan Tah and striker Nils Petersen.
