Overview

  • Germany’s coach said the 25-year-old will be “definitely” in the October roster and highlighted his build-up play, winning mentality and left-footed balance in defense.
  • Schlotterbeck has logged two straight 90-minute Bundesliga starts for Borussia Dortmund after months out with a meniscus injury.
  • The DFB will formally unveil the October list on Thursday, with World Cup qualifiers scheduled for Oct. 10 against Luxembourg in Sinsheim and Oct. 13 against Northern Ireland in Belfast.
  • His return heightens competition in Dortmund’s back line, with DerWesten reporting that Niklas Süle’s chances for minutes could shrink as others consolidate places.
  • The players’ union VDV selected Schlotterbeck in its Team of the Season, and local reporting says Dortmund wants to extend his contract, which currently runs through 2027.
