AI-generated summary
After the 1-1 draw against the Netherlands in the Nations League, the DFB team was worried about injuries.
Jürgen Klopp reacted quickly to the muscle injuries of Jamal Musiala and Kai Havertz and brought Florian Wirtz and Jonathan Burkardt to the national football team earlier than planned. Bayern professional Musiala and Arsenal striker Havertz traveled from Amsterdam back to their clubs in Munich and London the day after the 1-1 draw against the Netherlands in order to recover from their injuries there.
Musiala tore a muscle fiber in his right thigh during the warm-up before the start of the Nations League and was replaced at short notice by Nadiem Amiri in the starting line-up. According to the DFB, Havertz suffered a muscle strain in the first half. Frankfurt's Younes Ebnoutalib made his international debut for him. It is still unclear how long Musiala will be missing from FC Bayern and Havertz from Arsenal FC.
Wirtz and Burkardt were actually only supposed to be part of Klopp's second squad for next week's Nations League games against Serbia in Munich and away in Greece. Now the offensive star from Liverpool FC and the attacker from Eintracht Frankfurt are already in the squad for the first leg against Greece on Sunday (8.45 p.m./ARD) in Augsburg.
