🚨 Germany reveal their squad, a big first included! | OneFootball

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

There is a surprise, particularly in the goalkeeper position, as had been anticipated. Bayern’s backup goalkeeper, Jonas Urbig, has been called up for the first time. His 18-year-old teammate, Lennart Karl, could also receive a call-up. 

Kai Havertz, Antonio Rüdiger, and Deniz Undav are making their return. Among the surprise starters are Urbig and Karl, as well as 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 stated in an interview with “Kicker” that controversies were likely within the German national team. “I can already reveal to you that some decisions may not be well received, neither by the players nor by the general public,” the coach said. He added that undisputed starters at their clubs would not necessarily be selected. On the other hand, he wanted to rely on players like Leon Goretzka, who have limited playing time at their clubs.
