Klopp Names 44-Man Germany Squad for Nations League Matches
Jurgen Klopp, the newly appointed coach of the Germany National Team, unveiled a 44-man squad on September 18, 2026, for his first camp since taking over in the summer. He included 16 players receiving their first call-ups.
The squad is divided into two groups for four upcoming Nations League fixtures: the first group will play against the Netherlands on September 24 and Greece on September 27, while the second group will face Serbia on October 1 and Greece again on October 4. Klopp, who replaced Julian Nagelsmann after Germany's early exit from the 2026 World Cup, expressed a desire to evaluate as many players as possible during this period.
Notable omissions include Leroy Sane, Deniz Undav, and Leon Goretzka, while veterans Manuel Neuer and Antonio Rudiger have retired from international football. Marc-Andre ter Stegen is set to be the primary goalkeeper, and Joshua Kimmich retains the captaincy, transitioning from right-back to central midfield.
