The Wolfsburg striker has enjoyed a scintillating run of form in his last four outings to force the Germany boss to consider him for this year’s Euro Championship.
German national team manager, Joachim Low, has confirmed his interest in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wolves-c40952
and the impressive performances have put him under consideration for a place in Low’s 23-man squad for the upcoming European championship in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032.
Low has been monitoring the 28-year-old in case http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 squad. The tactician admitted that Helmes has done extremely well since making a comeback for Felix Magath’s side
and has hinted that the player can make his way back to the national side.
While talking to Bild, Low further added: "We have always known that Helmes has enormous quality for a striker,"
When asked about Per Mertesacker’s ankle injury, the boss revealed that the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 defender is gradually recovering. He claimed that the towering centre-back will be fit in time for this year’s European championship. However,
Low confirmed that he will not risk Mertesacker if he is not fully fit as Germany would need to take 23 fit players if they are to win this year’s competition.
"His healing process and prognosis is going well. He should be back within the first two weeks of April, but we need to see how resilient his foot is,” Low added.
On the other hand, the former Stuttgart manager enthused that he might announce a bigger squad for training in case Bayern Munich qualify for the UEFA Champions League final. Most of the German first team players play at the Allianz
Arena and therefore Low would run short of players in that situation.
"If Bayern reach the final of the Champions League, then it is clear that we will nominate some more players," the tactician concluded.
Germany will kick-off their campaign against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 on June 9.
