#2 Shkodran Mustafi (Germany)

Huddersfield Town v Arsenal - Premier League
Mustafi had an awful season with Arsenal

His whole season was filled with mistakes and he caused his team to pay heavily. Mustafi was on the verge of leaving Arsenal during the previous summer transfer window, with Inter Milan being the interested party. However, the deal failed to go through. Mustafi had now dismissed rumors that he will be leaving Arsenal in the near future, but with a new manager coming, his future at the club may be uncertain.

The German defender was part of the team that won the World Cup 2014 held in Brazil and the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup. Unfortunately, he has not been called up by Joachim Low this calendar year. Perhaps, the German national coach had also spotted his drop in form and tendency to lose concentration during the match.

After Low announced the names, it confirmed that Mustafi had missed out on the 23-man squad.
