Rudi Völler Opens Door to Senior Germany Consideration for Bayern Teen Lennart Karl

The 17-year-old strengthened his case with direct scoring contributions in Bayern’s 6–2 win over Freiburg.

Overview

  • DFB sporting director Rudi Völler said a senior call-up is possible for Karl if his current development continues, praising his rapid improvement.
  • Julian Nagelsmann did not include Karl in the November senior camp, with the teenager instead joining Antonio Di Salvo’s U21s.
  • Karl has three goals in two appearances for Germany’s U21 side following his recent debut.
  • In Bayern’s 6–2 victory over Freiburg, Karl scored the 1–2 and set up the 2–2 in a key first-half response.
  • Competition for minutes could intensify at Bayern with Jamal Musiala nearing a return, even as Vincent Kompany has increased Karl’s opportunities.
