The tentative team will be unveiled on Thursday. - This squad for the German European Championship includes players from Leipzig.
The team is gradually assembling in preparation for the forthcoming home European Championships (from June 14). The formal announcement won't happen until Thursday, but until then, various individuals will be revealed through various channels, including media, celebrities, influencers, and even fans.
Henrichs is having a standout season at RB Leipzig, exhibiting excellent adaptability as he can play both right-back and left-back, as well as defensive midfield. His current coach at Leipzig, Nagelsmann, highly values this versatility. His stats this season include 41 games, 1 goal, and 8 assists. Regrettably, he missed the World Cup in Qatar.
Raum, a left-back, has turned his fortunes around since a disappointing initial season at Leipzig. This season, he's spearheaded the club with 13 assists in 40 games, making him their top assist provider. However, unlike his starting role at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, he'll only be a substitute this time around.

This also means that two other professional German players contracted to Leipzig, Klostermann (27) and striker Timo Werner (currently injured), have not been included.
What's the reasoning behind the DFB's unique squad announcements?
Properly dubbed the "salami tactic," this approach aligns with a larger strategy: under the banner "Our squad for Germany," the DFB desires to intensify the anticipation for the European Championship in their homeland and ignite enthusiasm for the tournament.
Consider Neuer's nomination - he was announced via an Instagram video featuring a roofer. The morning prior, he was unveiled on RTL's "Exclusiv" show. Füllkrug, a striker, was also nominated on 1Live radio in NRW station.
This novel approach is part of the DFB's new strategy to build more excitement.
