20 BVB players called up for their national teams

Article image:20 BVB players called up for their national teams

This season brings a first: instead of three nine-day international breaks in the fall, there will now be one 16-day break and one nine-day break. The September and October windows have been merged into one long break, which starts now. So the Bundesliga is pausing not just for one weekend, but for two.

Some of Dortmund’s internationals will face each other directly during this period with their national teams: as early as Thursday, Germany’s national team will take on the Netherlands, meaning the German internationals in the BVB squad will come up against Joey Veerman, who can look forward to his return to the Dutch national team after more than two years away. Just three days later, Germany will then face Greece. Borussia player Konstantinos Karetsas is part of the Greek squad.

Mathis Albert is also on the verge of making his senior debut for the United States national team. The 17-year-old has already played for U.S. youth teams, but would theoretically also have been eligible to represent Germany or France.
