Gruda ‘to be named’ in Klopp’s extended Germany squad | OneFootball

Brajan Gruda is in contention for a first senior Germany call-up as Jürgen Klopp assembles an extended squad. According to Sky Sports, the 59-year-old plans to name an enlarged group and Gruda is likely to be among the new faces.

The expanded list is intended for four upcoming UEFA Nations League matches.

Gruda has scored three goals in 20 appearances for Germany Under-21s. He was part of the side that lost the Euros final to England last year.

So far he has featured only twice for Antonio Di Salvo’s team in qualifying for the next edition.

The former Mainz 05 attacker received a single call-up from Julian Nagelsmann for a friendly, but he has yet to make his senior debut.

Aged 22, he has rejoined RB Leipzig on another loan from Brighton after an impressive six-month spell there last term.
