Overview

• Rudi Völler reiterated that a Manuel Neuer comeback is "not an issue" and said Marc-André ter Stegen must earn the No. 1 shirt through club minutes once fit.
• At the two-year mark of his tenure, Julian Nagelsmann targets six points against Luxembourg and Northern Ireland, with late changes including Atubolu’s call-up, Nick Woltemade’s delayed arrival due to illness and Antonio Rüdiger’s absence.
• Eintracht Frankfurt’s form has dipped with 16 goals conceded over the last four matches, and coach Dino Toppmöller plans to use the break to restore defensive balance and stability.
• FC Bayern expect Alphonso Davies, Hiroki Ito and Jamal Musiala to return before year-end, a timeline that heightens competition for starting roles in Vincent Kompany’s in-form squad.
• RB Leipzig reported Xaver Schlager and Timo Werner back in full training and confirmed a short-notice national-team nomination for Amadou Haidara with Mali.
