Deniz Undav did not appear in the 44-man squad named by German national coach Jürgen Klopp for the upcoming international matches. According to available information, the striker was surprised by the decision. Spiegel.de ↗
Undav had been one of the standout figures on the German team at the World Cup, with some assessments calling him the only German hero of the tournament. Nevertheless, Klopp decided not to include him in the selection. The decision sparked a debate in Germany about the striker's standing on the national team. Tagesspiegel ↗
The coach explained Undav's absence with reference to his own statements about strikers, though his reasoning, according to one reaction, proved contentious. Nick Woltemade appeared in the squad in Undav's place. The comparison between the two forwards became one of the main points of the debate about the team's composition. n-tv ↗
VfB Stuttgart coach Sebastian Hoeneß came to Undav's defense. According to him, the striker's return to the national team squad may only be a matter of time. Hoeneß also spoke of minor health issues, which he described as "Wehwehchen." Tagesspiegel ↗
The German national team will thus take the field for its upcoming matches without a player who was previously regarded as one of its important attacking options. Further developments will depend on Undav's performances and on whether Klopp reconsiders his decision for future squad selections.
