👀 At a glance: these Germany stars are going to the World Cup

In recent days, several spots in the Germany squad have already been leaked in the media. So how many tickets for the World Cup in 21 days have already been taken, and how many are still up for grabs? We provide an overview. 

Goalkeepers

Just a few days ago, the bombshell dropped. As first reported by 'Bild' and later by 'Der Spiegel', Neuer will be going to the World Cup. According to the media reports, there was a conversation between Baumann and the national team coach. Although Baumann is said to have been disappointed by the decision, the TSG goalkeeper will travel to the World Cup as the number two. 

The number three goalkeeper at the World Cup is then expected to be Alexander Nübel, according to reports from 'Bild' and 'Sky', while Jonas Urbig will reportedly make the trip overseas as number four, according to 'Bild' and 'Ran'.
