Leroy Sane is back in the Germany set-up after his 2018 World Cup axe
The trio were crucial to Germany’s 2014 World Cup triumph, with Muller ending the tournament with five goals, one short of Golden Boot winner James Rodriguez.
Low said: “2019 is the year of the new start for the German national team.
“We want to give the team a new face and I am convinced that this is the right step.
“The young national players will have the space they need to fully develop, and now they have to take responsibility.â€
