Who’re the star names within the squad?
Youssoufa Moukoko broke Cameroonian hearts when the gifted teenager plumped for a spot on the German U16s staff over the nation the place he spent the primary ten years of his life, however Germany have actually rewarded what may need been a difficult determination for Moukoko.
To say Moukoko is a wunderkind virtually too straightforward – final 12 months, on his debut, he turned the youngest-ever scorer for the Germany U21 staff, and solely fourteen months later, he graduates to the senior staff. Dortmund rely closely on him, with Moukoko making 22 appearances already this season in all competitions, which have yielded ten purpose contributions.
The opening ceremony will fall on Moukoko’s 18th birthday – turning into one of many competitors’s youngest-ever goalscorers would make a becoming present.
