One big omission from Germany’s October call-ups to the men’s national team? Bayern Munich star winger Leroy Sané.
The 28-year-old is downright unplayable on his day, but after running himself into the ground last season under Thomas Tuchel, Sané is still working his way back to full fitness. Once he does that, his way back to Julian Nagelsmann’s squad should be clear — according to a report from Az journalist Maximilian Koch:
Leroy Sané steht weiter in gutem, regelmäßigen Kontakt zu Bundestrainer Julian Nagelsmann. Läuft alles nach Plan und Sané kommt jetzt regelmäßig zum Einsatz beim #FCBayern, sollte er bei den Länderspielen im November wieder im DFB-Kader stehen. #DFBTeam @Abendzeitung

Leroy Sané is still in good, regular contact with national coach Julian Nagelsmann. Everything goes according to plan and Sané is now regularly used at #FCBayern, should he be back in the DFB squad at the international matches in November. #DFBTeam
Then again playing time at Bayern has not gotten easier to come by, fit or not. Michael Olise’s emergence and Serge Gnabry’s resurgence under Vincent Kompany could complicate Sané’s hopes of returning to the national team fold.
