Nagelsmann relies on newcomers: Blaswich and small service for Nations League!

national coach Julian Nagelsmann faces a crucial phase in the Nations League because he has to react to the injuries of his key players. Marc-André Ter Stegen, the tram goalkeeper of the DFB team, is out of action due to a severe knee passion, and striker Niclas Füllkrug will not be available. This situation led to the nomination of two new players for the upcoming games against Bosnia-Herzegovina on October 11th in Zenica and on October 14th in Munich.

With the Gladbacher Tim Kleindienst and the goalkeeper Janis Blaswich from Red Bull Salzburg, two fresh faces belong to the 23-member squad. Small service, the 29-year-old, will experience his first time in the DFB team. Nagelsmann emphasized that the violation of filling jug was a great opportunity to test Tim and give him the opportunity to prove himself.

squad decisions and returnees

When announcing the squad, Nagelsmann also made some clear decisions. Emre Can and Maximilian Beier were deleted, while the recently spared defense chief Antonio Rüdiger and Serge Gnabry plagued by injuries return. These personal details are important to ensure the strength of the team, especially in such a decisive phase of the Nations League, where Germany occupies a very good starting position.

ter Stegen remains a central figure in the team. Nagelsmann confirmed that the goalkeeper gets all the time he needs for his recovery. In his opinion, Ter Stegen, even if he only returns shortly before the World Cup, still have the potential to show an excellent performance. He described FC Barcelona keeper as "our number one", which gives him the certainty that he will be ready next year.

debut for Oliver Baumann

Oliver Baumann from TSG Hoffenheim, the 34-year-old, will be given the opportunity, according to Nagelsmann, to play his first international match. "Olli deserves to get an international match. It will be the case too," said the national coach. Baumann, who has long been waiting for his chance, will finally take over a place in the DFB goal. However, Nagelsmann made it clear that it was still unclear whether Baumann would play the entire game. The Stuttgart Alexander Nübel could also be given the opportunity to celebrate his debut as a further goalkeeper, while Blaswich is the third option in the squad.

The DFB squad in Herzogenaurach will meet again next Monday to prepare for the upcoming challenges. Germany is currently at the top of group 3 of the highest league in the Nations League, with 4 points, and has an exciting duel with the same Dutch. Bosnia-Herzegovina and Hungary have remained in this group at the moment and are at just one point.
