Overview
- Multiple outlets report that Klopp will name his first Germany squad on Thursday, using an expanded preliminary group to prepare for four Nations League matches beginning on 24 September.
- Reports name several surprise call-ups including Younes Ebnoutalib and Jonathan Burkardt from Eintracht Frankfurt plus 1. FC Köln winger Said El Mala and Bayern youngster Tom Bischof.
- Coverage says Klopp has settled on Marc‑André ter Stegen as his preferred No. 1 while omitting Oliver Baumann from the preliminary group.
- UEFA rules require a 23-player matchday list before each game, which lets Klopp rotate personnel across the four fixtures while observing a larger training group.
- The moves mark the start of a rapid selection reset after Germany’s World Cup problems and give fringe and young players a clear chance to stake a claim, though the final squad and matchday 23s remain to be published on Thursday.
