National squad - The European Championship's commencement remains unready due to Pavlovic's absence.
Julian Nagelsmann's national team will have to carry on without Aleksandar Pavlovic as they prepare for the curtains-raiser of the Euros vs Scotland. The 20-year-old midfielder was also absent in the morning training session for the patriots in Herzogenaurach, due to an illness. All other 22 field players and 3 goalkeepers were present at the training grounds.
The team went through a warm-up regimen in the fitness tent before kicking off a session of passing combinations. Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and backups Marc-André ter Stegen and Oliver Baumann conducted separate drills on a nearby pitch. Two more practice sessions are lined up at the Franconia site, ahead of the kick-off against the Scots on Friday. Then they move to Munich after the final practice session.
