Eyes on the World Cup: Nagelsmann names squad for upcoming friendlies
It is the last international break before the World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Coach Julian Nagelsmann has now announced the squad for the friendly matches against Switzerland (March 27) and Ghana (March 30).
There is a surprise, especially in the goalkeeper position, which had already been hinted at beforehand. Bayern's backup goalkeeper Jonas Urbig has been nominated for the first time. His 18-year-old teammate Lennart Karl is also pleased to receive an invitation.
Kai Havertz, Antonio Rüdiger, and Deniz Undav are returning. Besides Urbig and Karl, Anton Stach, Josha Vagnoman, and Pascal Groß are also among the surprises.
As early as the beginning of March, Julian Nagelsmann announced in an interview with 'kicker' that there would likely be some controversies in the DFB squad. "Decisions, I can already reveal, that probably won't meet with great understanding. Not from the players, but also not from the general public," said the national coach. Players who are regulars at their clubs would also not be nominated. On the other hand, he wants to rely on players like Leon Goretzka, who do not have much playing time at their club.
What do you think of the DFB squad? Who do you think is missing? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
