Klopp completes final training before Nations League game in Greece

Jürgen Klopp completed the final training for the second leg of the Nations League in Greece with all 23 players in his squad. The national coach gathered his squad from the national soccer team around Florian Wirtz, who was probably planned as a substitute captain, once again on the pitch in the home ground in Herzogenaurach.

A week after the painful 0-1 loss in Augsburg, there will be a quick revenge on Sunday (8.45 p.m./RTL) in Thessaloniki with the still unbeaten leaders of Group 2 of the A-League of the UEFA competition. The DFB team is in third place with four points behind the Greeks (7 points) and the Netherlands (5). Only the top two teams in each group qualify for the quarterfinals.

Debut for Dahmen is on the horizon

There are signs of another change in the goal. Augsburg's Finn Dahmen should celebrate his debut in the DFB goal after the last training impressions. Klopp uses the fourth goalkeeper in the fourth game. Marc-André ter Stegen made his comeback in the Netherlands (1:1). Alexander Nübel was in goal in the first leg against Greece. Jonas Urbig made his first international appearance in the 2-0 win against Serbia.

Pleasant temperatures in Thessaloniki

In the afternoon, Klopp and his team will fly to Thessaloniki. At the northern end of the Aegean Sea, the DFB team can expect pleasant, late summer temperatures. Together with Aleksandar Pavlovic, Klopp will speak about his plans for the second Greek duel at a press conference at the Toumba Stadium in the early evening (6.15 p.m.).

After the last of the four games within ten days at the start of the Nations League, the group phase will end with the games on November 13th in Serbia and three days later in Berlin against the Netherlands. The knockout games are scheduled for the end of March 2027.
