Mika Baur and Nick Woltemade marked their Germany call-ups with Europa League goals on Thursday. According to BuLi News, both were named in Jürgen Klopp’s squad earlier today for the last two games of the upcoming international break.

Woltemade converted a penalty as Juventus thrashed NEC Nijmegen 5-0 to open their European campaign. The Newcastle United loanee will hope to make his full Serie A debut when the former giants host Atalanta on Sunday.

The former Paderborn midfielder will hope to make his first Germany appearance when Klopp’s second squad face Serbia at home, then travel to Greece in matchday four of the UEFA Nations League.

Meanwhile, Marco Rose’s Bournemouth won 2-1 at Real Sociedad. Justin Kluivert, who previously spent time at RB Leipzig like his German coach, scored Bournemouth’s first goal in European football.

Over in Türkiye, former Wolfsburg forward Vaclav Cerny and Bayer Leverkusen loanee Ernest Poku struck in a 4-1 win for Beşiktaş over Marseille. Elsewhere, Leverkusen beat Celje 2-0 on Wednesday, while Hoffenheim lost 2-0 at OFI Crete.
