Kevin Volland on DFB return: “I’m a realist on this question”

Bayer Leverkusen’s Kevin Volland, despite his strong performances in the last two seasons, has been able to put his career in the national team on the back burner. “I’m a realist about that.”

“I haven’t been there since November 2016,” said the 26-year-old, who has played ten international games, to the kicker. At that time the former Hoffenheimer and Munich lion was used 0:0 in Italy.

“I had a run last season and a constant year, scored 14 goals,” Volland continued. “This year again. At some point, you don’t have to worry about being invited or not.”

After Marco Reus and Timo Werner, Volland, together with Kai Havertz, is the most accurate German goal scorer in the Bundesliga. Besides, he also scored ten goals.
