Klopp recalls Füllkrug to Germany squad for Nations League games

Germany coach Jürgen Klopp named a 24-man squad on 5 November 2026 for the last two Nations League group games, against Serbia in Belgrade and the Netherlands in Berlin. The biggest headline was the return of striker Niclas Füllkrug after more than a year out of the national team.

Füllkrug, who plays for Werder Bremen and has 24 caps, had been scoring heavily in the Bundesliga (Germany's top league). Reports said his form outweighed Klopp's earlier doubts about his age. Nick Woltemade was left out to make room. Gladbach midfielder Wael Mohya received his first senior call-up.

The selection mattered because Germany were third in their group, behind the Dutch and Greece, with only two matches left. Klopp's choice of a classic centre-forward raised questions about who would lead the attack and how the other strikers would fit around him.
