Borussia Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck has been named by coach Julian Nagelsmann to Germany's Euro 2024 squad, broadcasters ARD reported on Sunday, citing a source in the German Football Federation (DFB).

Nagelsmann is to name his squad for the home tournament on Thursday.

Schlotterbeck last played for Germany in the 4-1 defeat to Japan in September 2023, still under coach Hansi Flick. So far, he had never been called up by Nagelsmann.

The defender has been a key player in the Dortmund team that reached the Champions League final against Real Madrid. The match will take place on June 1 at Wembley.

If named to the Euro 2024 squad, Scholotterbeck will miss the friendly game against Ukraine on June 3.

Germany will also play a friendly against Greece on June 7 before their first Euro 2024 match against Scotland on June 14.
