Bayern Munich midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic has been substituted by Emre Can in Germany’s Euro 2024 squad due to his exclusion following tonsillitis.
Pavlovic, 20, had his national debut on 3 June during a 0-0 draw with Ukraine, earning a spot in Julian Nagelsmann’s full squad for the tournament.
However, he was absent for Friday’s 2-1 win against Greece and has been compelled to withdraw from the squad due to tonsillitis.
Former Liverpool midfielder Emre Can has been named as his replacement.
“We want another six in the squad and have therefore decided to re-nominate Emre Can,” said Nagelsmann.
“We wanted to have another player in the squad who has played a lot of games, who knows how to deal with the pressure.”
Can, 30, has played 43 times for Germany and was chosen as Pavlovic’s replacement ahead of Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka.
The hosts kick off the tournament against Scotland on 14 June in Munich (20:00 BST).
