Germany XI vs Luxembourg – Predicted lineup and team news
Germany team news
Julian Nagelsmann has brought Leroy Sané back into the squad after his recent transfer to Turkish Super Lig side Galatasaray. The 30-year-old winger is among the 25 players called up for the upcoming November fixtures against Luxembourg and Slovakia.
Making his first senior team appearance, 19-year-old Cologne rising star Said El Mala earned a call-up following impressive Bundesliga performances with the newly promoted side. Meanwhile, Malick Thiaw returns to the national fold after a two-year gap, following a string of strong displays for Newcastle United.
Germany’s injury list remains concerning, with key figures like Kai Havertz, Jamal Musiala, Niclas Fullkrug, and Tim Kleindienst sidelined. Notably absent are goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen and defender Antonio Rudiger. Additionally, VfB Stuttgart’s Jamie Leweling is out due to a groin injury.
Nadiem Amiri has pulled out of the squad due to injury as well, prompting Nagelsmann to hand RB Leipzig’s Assan Ouédraogo his first call-up. Despite these setbacks, Germany benefit from solid squad depth, including five players from Bayern Munich: Jonathan Tah, Joshua Kimmich, Serge Gnabry, Leon Goretzka, and Aleksandar Pavlović.
