Remember when the Germany squad had eight Bayern players?

Bayern Munich will be sending three players to Germany's squad for the upcoming international break. Jogi Löw has called up Mario Götze, Thomas Müller, and Manuel Neuer to the squad ahead of friendlies against England and Italy. So, no, Joshua Kimmich did not receive a call-up to the senior team.

The only debutante in the team is Bayer Leverkusen's 20 year old centerback Jonathan Tah. With Jerome Boateng and Benedikt Höwedes out with injuries, Löw has to try new things to find a working formula ahead of this summer's European Championship.

England will visit Berlin on March 26, while Italy will come to Munich on March 29. The matches will be good tests for Germany, as all three nations will be at the Euros.

Former Bayern players Emre Can, Mats Hummels, Toni Kroos, Lukas Podolski, Bastian Schweinsteiger, and Mario Gomez were also called up to the squad. Apparently, with all the German talent, there's still nobody that can beat Podolski out for a spot?
