Khedira out of Germany squad as Low calls up Kehrer, Havertz and Schulz

Sami Khedira is not in the Germany squad for their Nations League opener against France, but Joachim Low says the Juventus midfielder remains available.

Khedira is the headline absentee from the Low's first selection since Die Mannschaft were knocked out of the World Cup in the group stage.

Leroy Sane was omitted from the Russia 2018 squad, but the Manchester City winger returns, while Thilo Kehrer, Kai Havertz and Nico Schulz have received their maiden call-ups.

Jonathan Tah of Bayer Leverkusen and Freiburg striker Nils Petersen are also back in the squad after missing out on the World Cup.
