Nagelsmann Backs Woltemade After Quiet Germany Display Against Luxembourg

The Germany coach urged patience over the Newcastle striker's wait for a first senior international goal.

Overview

  • Germany beat Luxembourg 4-0, but Nick Woltemade saw an early effort ruled out, missed a clear one-on-one and was substituted around the 61st minute.
  • German outlets issued low match ratings and cited limited impact, with Fotmob listing just 14 touches in 61 minutes.
  • One report highlighted a “horribly heavy” touch that squandered a breakaway chance against goalkeeper Anthony Morris.
  • Julian Nagelsmann said Woltemade should stay the course and predicted his first goal will come, potentially not until 2026.
  • Woltemade’s international scrutiny contrasts with his strong club start after a high-fee move from Stuttgart to Newcastle, where he has scored four times.
