Löw had previously indicated that he would rest players who had featured heavily in the closing stages of this month's UEFA Champions League, so Bayern's treble winners Manuel Neuer, Joshua Kimmich, Serge Gnabry and Leon Goretzka have not been called upon.

Marcel Halstenberg and Lukas Klostermann, who reached the Champions League semi-finals with RB Leipzig, have also been given extra time to recover ahead of the new Bundesliga season which gets underway on 18 September.

"Neuhaus is a very game-intelligent player," said Germany head coach Löw at a press conference on Tuesday. "He's a player who's developed very well and deserves this call-up."

Atalanta's Robin Gosens joins Neuhaus in being rewarded for his strong performances in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals with a first ever call-up to the senior national team.

Germany open their Nations League campaign with a home game against Spain in Stuttgart on 3 September before travelling to face Switzerland in Basel on 6 September. The match in Stuttgart will be the first international outing Germany have made for 10 months – the longest break since the second World War.

Watch: Neuhaus scored the Goal of the Month in January!
