Effenberg Advocates for Goretzka's Return to German National Team

The former midfielder highlights Goretzka's resurgence at Bayern Munich and urges his inclusion for upcoming matches.

Stefan Effenberg has called for Leon Goretzka's return to the German national football team, citing his recent performances at Bayern Munich.
Goretzka, who was excluded from the national team by coach Julian Nagelsmann after November 2023, has since regained his starting position at Bayern under Vincent Kompany.
Effenberg emphasized Goretzka's professionalism and character, noting his ability to fight for his place without complaints and deliver consistent performances.
The former midfielder argued that a Bayern Munich starter should naturally be a strong candidate for the national team, especially under a merit-based selection system.
Effenberg suggested Goretzka's inclusion for the upcoming international matches in March, framing it as a logical decision based on recent form.
