Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann has made bold squad decisions ahead of the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Defender Antonio Rüdiger makes his return to the national team after injury, strengthening the back line, while winger Leroy Sané has been dropped following inconsistent form and fitness concerns.
Other notable inclusions are Jamal Musiala and Kai Havertz, who are expected to play key roles in Germany’s attack. Nagelsmann stressed that squad selection was based on “current performance and tactical balance” as Germany pushes to secure early qualification.
Fans will be watching closely to see how these changes impact team chemistry as Die Mannschaft prepares for crucial fixtures.
