🚨 Eyes on the World Cup: Nagelsmann names squad for friendlies | OneFootball

It is the last international break before the World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Coach Julian Nagelsmann has now announced the squad for the friendly matches against Switzerland (March 27) and Ghana (March 30).

There is a surprise, especially in the goalkeeper position, which had already been hinted at beforehand. Bayern's backup keeper Jonas Urbig has been nominated for the first time. His 18-year-old teammate Lennart Karl is also pleased to receive an invitation.

Kai Havertz, Antonio Rüdiger, and Deniz Undav are returning. Besides Urbig and Karl, the surprises include Anton Stach, Josha Vagnoman, and Pascal Groß. Jamal Musiala, on the other hand, will be absent due to injury.

As early as the beginning of March, Julian Nagelsmann had announced in an interview with 'kicker' that there might be some controversies in the DFB squad. "Decisions, I can already reveal, that will probably not be met with great understanding. Not by the players, but also not by the general public," the national coach said. There would also be players not nominated who are regulars at their clubs. On the other hand, he wants to rely on players like Leon Goretzka, who do not have much playing time at their club.

What do you think of the DFB squad? Who do you think is missing? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
