Overview
- Germany opens its Euro campaign in Herning on Thursday against Austria in Schluroff’s first major-tournament match, with only the top two in the group advancing.
- The 25-year-old debuted for Germany in March 2025 under coach Alfreð Gíslason and has since become a regular selection.
- He is valued for defensive versatility across both half positions and for contributing in the right back role.
- Pajović contacted him years earlier during his GWD Minden stint about representing Austria, an approach he declined.
- Born in Bregenz, he moved to Germany at age three when his father, ex-Werder Bremen footballer Lars Unger, transferred there, and he later emerged as a leading scorer with VfL Gummersbach.
