Leroy Sane has been called up to the Germany squad for upcoming fixtures against France and Peru.

The Manchester City was a shocking omission from Joachim Low's squad for the World Cup. Germany were eventually knocked out at the group stage in Russia.

"I spoke to Leroy on that day [of the World Cup squad announcement]," Low told a news conference.

"I told him that his national team future must begin after the World Cup, that we are aware of his qualities.

"We wanted to take an intensive look at his style of play after the World Cup."
