UEFA Nations League 2022 has already started but some popular names are missing from the tournament as a result of various reasons. Mesut Ozil<\/strong> is one of those big players to miss Nations League 2022. Fans want to know the reason Why Mesut Ozil is not included in Germany squad.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The name of FIFA WORLD CUP 2014 winner Mesut Ozil<\/strong> has not been mentioned in Germany squad. This is because Mesut Ozil at the age of 29, announced his retirement<\/b>\u00a0from international football in July after\u00a0Germany’s<\/b>\u00a0disappointing group stage exit at the 2018 World Cup and\u00a0citing racism as the main reason behind his decision.\u00a0For the first time in 80 years, Germany had failed to get out of their group at the tournament. But instead of\u00a0placing the blame on head coach Joachim Low\u00a0<\/strong>and Germany squad, Ozil was turned into a scapegoat by media and people inside his own football association including\u00a0general manager Oliver Bierhoff\u00a0and Grindel.<\/p>\n

The midfielder played a key role in Joachim Low\u2019s style of play and Die Mannschaft’s infamous 2014 World Cup glory. Ozil was a member of the Germany squad that was eliminated from the group stage of World Cup 2018 and faced heavy criticism for his both performances and his meeting with Erdo\u011fan, who has been accused of human rights abuses and has been outspoken about German politics as well.<\/p>\n

Mesut Ozil<\/strong> has ancestral roots in Turkey<\/strong>, was heavily criticized by the press for meeting up and posing for a photograph with the country\u2019s president Recep Tayyip Erdogen<\/strong>, despite the World Cup winner denying any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n
