Overview
- Germany announced a 24-man roster for matches on Oct. 10 against Luxembourg in Sinsheim and Oct. 13 in Belfast against Northern Ireland.
- Eintracht Frankfurt left back Nathaniel Brown received his first senior call-up, and a competitive debut would cap-tie the 22-year-old who is also eligible for the United States.
- Real Madrid defender Antonio Rüdiger and winger Jamal Musiala are out injured, with Borussia Dortmund’s Nico Schlotterbeck recalled after returning from a meniscus layoff.
- Julian Nagelsmann omitted striker Niclas Füllkrug, Leroy Sané and Pascal Groß, with forwards Nick Woltemade, Jonathan Burkardt and Maximilian Beier included and Bayern’s Aleksandar Pavlovic recalled.
- Germany sit third in Group A on three points after a loss to Slovakia and a win over Northern Ireland, and Nagelsmann publicly demanded two wins in this window.
