Andrich was a key player for Germany at Euro 2024, starting every game for Nagelsmann’s side.

However, he has not been called up to the national team since October, when he played just three minutes in a 1-0 win over Northern Ireland.

Nagelsmann will announce his full Germany squad for the tournament on Thursday.
