Klopp changes lineup ahead of home debut against Greece
Jürgen Klopp will lead Germany on Sunday in his first home match since taking charge of the national team. Germany will play Greece in the Nations League following a 1:1 draw with the Netherlands. Spiegel.de ↗
Defender Nico Schlotterbeck will not be in the squad. Klopp dropped him from the lineup under UEFA rules, which require the exclusion of one player for a team's second match. Schlotterbeck is also returning to match rhythm after a long injury-induced break. Deutschlandfunk ↗
The coach is also preparing a change in goal. Alexander Nübel is set to be preferred over Marc-André ter Stegen. Klopp stated that, despite the decision, he remains satisfied with ter Stegen.
Florian Wirtz should start against Greece in the attacking midfielder position in place of the injured Jamal Musiala. Wirtz is facing criticism for his performances at Liverpool, but Klopp declined to characterize his situation as a long-term problem. In defending the player, he spoke of an "unfavorable constellation" and also pointed to circumstances that have affected his form. Welt ↗
The coach also continues to count on Karim Adeyemi, even though the striker failed to convert a big chance against the Netherlands. Klopp described him as "amazing" and, after the missed finish, said: "We move on." Tagesspiegel ↗
The match against Greece kicks off on Sunday evening. For Klopp's team, it will be another test of the new style of play as well as the first home appearance under his leadership. Deutschlandfunk ↗
