Aleix Garcia has not travelled to Brazil. The Spaniard is currently receiving treatment in Leverkusen for a minor muscle injury and will join the squad as soon as possible.
Managing director sports Simon Rolfes said immediately before departure: “We are very much looking forward to the spirit of the people in South America and the passionate approach to football out there." Referring to the new signings including Mark Flekken, Axel Tape and Ibrahim Maza, the 43-year-old added: "It's very important to have the new signings on board so they can get to know the team and have a feeling for the group. And the two lads who will follow on as well (Jarell Quansah and Christian Kofane, ed.). Over the last few years we have always stood out as a strong team with strong team spirit. We want to create that again this year to be successful and to compete."
After a short birthday serenade for Jonas Hofmann on the plane – with typical Brazilian music – the plane then makes its way onto the runway. A 12-hour flight begins!
