Germany Call Up Noah Atubolu as Baumann, Woltemade Miss Training

The late change reshapes goalkeeper plans for World Cup qualifiers this week.

Overview

The DFB confirmed a first senior call-up for SC Freiburg goalkeeper Noah Atubolu after Oliver Baumann reported nausea.
Germany trained again on Tuesday without Baumann and Newcastle United striker Nick Woltemade, who has the flu.
If Baumann is unavailable, Alexander Nübel is expected to start in goal with Finn Dahmen and Atubolu as alternatives.
Julian Nagelsmann has not called up another forward, leaving Maximilian Beier and Jonathan Burkardt as the only strikers in camp.
Germany host Luxembourg on Friday before visiting Northern Ireland, with only group winners qualifying directly for 2026 and a playoff place secured via the Nations League.
