Nagelsmann leaves goalkeeper out of Germany squad to face Luxembourg | OneFootball

When Germany announced their squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Luxembourg and Slovakia, four goalkeepers were included.

But with Julian Nagelsmann only allowed to name three goalkeepers in his matchday squad, Freiburg's Noah Atubolu has been left out of the team to face Luxembourg.

Hoffenheim’s Oliver Baumann, Stuttgart’s Alexander Nübel and Augsburg’s Finn Dahmen will be the three goalkeepers in the squad for Friday’s game.

“There are regulations on how many goalkeepers are allowed to be on the bench,” Nagelsmann explained at a press conference earlier this week.

“Whether you take eight goalkeepers or four, it’s always the same. I could even take twelve. The number allowed on the match sheet is always the same.”

Here are the squad numbers for Friday’s game:

1 Oliver Baumann

2 Malick Thiaw

3 Waldemar Anton

4 Jonathan Tah

5 Aleksandar Pavlovic

6 Joshua Kimmich

7 Jamie Leweling

8 Leon Goretzka

9 Assan Ouedraogo

10 Jonathan Burkardt

11 Nick Woltemade

12 Alexander Nübel

13 Felix Nmecha

14 Said El Mala

15 Nico Schlotterbeck

16 Kevin Schade

17 Florian Wirtz

18 Nathaniel Brown

19 Leroy Sané

20 Serge Gnabry

21 Finn Dahmen

22 David Raum

23 Ridle Baku

Nico Schlotterbeck and Joshua Kimmich will miss the game through injury, while Karim Adeyemi is suspended.
