World Cup 2018: 3 players who should not be in Germany's 23-man squad

#2 Kevin Trapp

Trapp has been playing second fiddle to Alphonse Areola in Paris this season

With so many talented goalkeepers at his disposal, it's hard for Löw to make a bad selection in this area. However, the inclusion of Kevin Trapp into the World Cup squad should certainly raise a few eyebrows.

Trapp is a solid goalkeeper, who would probably get into many of the national teams participating in the World Cup, but is he really the third-best goalkeeper Germany have?

Usually, the third goalkeeper doesn't come into action during the World Cup, his role is more supportive and motivational. However, with Manuel Neuer only recently recovering from injury, Trapp could quickly turn into the back-up for Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

The German has had a rough year with Paris Saint-Germain, losing his place between the posts to Frenchman Alphonse Areola. With only 13 appearances to his name, Trapp will inevitably lack match practice, something that several equally good goalkeepers in the Bundesliga have.

Other than Leverkusen goalkeeper Bernd Leno, who didn't make the cut from 27 to 23 men in Löw's squad, Ralf Fährmann from Schalke 04, Oliver Baumann from TSG Hoffenheim and even former Leicester player Ron-Robert Zieler from VfB Stuttgart have had a convincing season for their clubs.

Löw will most likely not have to rely on Trapp during Germany's quest to retain the title, but nevertheless, the decision to take him to Russia is puzzling
