Germany could be set for a major World Cup surprise as veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has reportedly been included in Julian Nagelsmann’s provisional 55-man squad submitted to FIFA, with a final decision on his participation expected next week.

Germany could be set for a stunning reunion with legendary goalkeeper Manuel Neuer as the veteran shot-stopper has reportedly been included in the country’s provisional 55-man squad for the upcoming World Cup.

According to reports from BILD and Sky Sport Germany, 40-year-old Neuer has made Julian Nagelsmann’s preliminary list submitted to FIFA, despite ongoing questions surrounding his long-term international future.

The final decision on whether Neuer will be part of Germany’s official World Cup squad is expected to be made next week. However, sources suggest the possibility of his inclusion is becoming increasingly serious.

Neuer, widely regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers in football history, could add another remarkable chapter to his international career if selected for the tournament.
