BERLIN, April 28 (Xinhua) -- German head coach Joachim Loew will not call up national squad members of Bayern Munich for the first of two friendlies ahead of June's European Championship. Germany play Switzerland in Basle on May 26 and Israel in Leipzig on May 31, while Bayern host Chelsea in the Champions League final May 19.
Three days after the Champioons League final, Bayern are also playing a friendly match against the Netherlands, as a compensation for the Bundesliga club since Bayern's Dutch winger Arjen Robben injured during the 2010 World Cup.
"When they come they can't be immediately used," he said in an interview with Saturday's Sueddeutsche Zeitung. "They have to have a bit of a break and we will then have to decide when they start team training."
Loew is set to announce a provisional squad for Euro 2012 on May 7, and to call up training camp in Sardinia, Italy between May 11 and 18 before the second training camp in southern France from May 18 to 30.
Bayern are expected to have eight players in Germany's squad for Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine between June 8 and July 1, namingly Philipp Lahm, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Manuel Neuer, Holger Badstuber, Mario Gomez, Jerome Boateng, Toni Kroos and Thomas Mueller. |
