Julian Weigl admitted receiving the news of his inclusion in Germany's provisional Euro 2016 squad on Tuesday was "impossible to describe".
The Borussia Dortmund midfielder was one of an initial 27 players selected by Low, and, along with Joshua Kimmich and Julian Brandt, one of three players to earn first time call-ups.
Weigl has established himself in the Dortmund first team under Thomas Tuchel, and his form was enough to convince Low to call him into the national team.
