According to BuLi News, Liverpool midfielder Florian Wirtz and Eintracht Frankfurt forward Jonathan Burkardt have linked up with the Germany squad earlier than planned after Arsenal’s Kai Havertz and Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala withdrew injured.

Jamal Musiala sustained a muscle fibre tear in his right thigh during the warm-up. Kai Havertz was forced off with a muscle strain in the first half of Germany’s 1-1 draw with the Netherlands.

Wirtz and Burkardt had been included in Jürgen Klopp’s second squad for the third and fourth UEFA Nations League fixtures of this international break.

Germany face Greece in Augsburg on Sunday in the competition.

Both players will be available to Klopp for that game.
