From a Frankfurt perspective, there were both good and bad news regarding Julian Nagelsmann's nomination of the DFB squad. The good news: Nathaniel Brown was nominated again. The bad news: Robin Koch was not.
The SGE central defender will therefore get a break. The national coach believes that this will do him good. "I think it will be beneficial for him to do a little less for a week than he would have to do here. Just to regain his strength, because he plays every second in Frankfurt," Nagelsmann is quoted by 'Bild'.
Nevertheless, he regrets the non-nomination because "Kochi" is simply "a great guy". It's not the end of his World Cup chances, as the door to the DFB team remains open.
Nagelsmann also commented on Koch's teammate Brown ahead of the upcoming international matches against Luxembourg and Slovakia. "Especially in one-on-one defending, he is very clever," praised the national coach.

Recently, Brown has further developed, and as a reward, he received the invitation to the DFB. Whether he can convince Nagelsmann of a starting position will be revealed in the coming days.
