Das Reboot and the Road to UEFA Nations League & EC2020

Marc-Andre ter Stegen on being benched by Germany again: "It is not easy to find an explanation as I am giving the best account of myself in each game to make the decision more difficult. I am trying anyway, but this trip with the national team has been a tough blow for me."

Löw: "Andy Köpke & I are true to our word that Marc will get his chances. We can understand his disappointment, but it's just that only one person can play. In June he was planned to play. Unfortunately he got injured. Manu has been performing very well for us. He is our captain"

National team comeback?

Hummels: "I try not to think about it. If it comes, it comes. I've always been proud to play for Germany and that has not changed. I always picked up the phone when Jogi Löw called me, I'd probably do the same the next time (he calls)" pic.twitter.com/Cz5qof91k3

Amiri the surprise inclusion. Will he even play? Stark has yet to play but has been included for months. Can is barely playing at Juventus and getting NT call up?

 

💬 Joachim #Löw on the GK situation: "We can all be very happy that we have two world-class goalkeepers in @Manuel_Neuer and @mterstegen1. I have no concerns at all, especially as we also have the likes of Kevin #Trapp and @Bernd_Leno."#DieMannschaft #GERARG #ESTGER pic.twitter.com/O0NOn1I4qg

💬 #Löw: "I have spoken with Andy #Köpke and we agreed that @mterstegen1 will play against Argentina and @Manuel_Neuer against Estonia. We discussed that with the players too."#DieMannschaft #GERARG #ESTGER pic.twitter.com/wZzsD9Lkjg

Nadiem Amiri of Bayer 04 Leverkusen is in the squad for the German national team for the first time. Leon Goretzka and Nico Schulz are out due to injury. These are compared to the squad of the September internationals the only personnel changes in the current squad for the two upcoming internationals on October 9 (from 20.45 clock, live on RTL) in the classic against Argentina in Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund and on 13 October (from 20.45 clock, live on RTL) in Tallinn in the European Championship qualifier against Estonia. With captain Manuel Neuer, Toni Kroos and Matthias Ginter still count three world champions from 2014 to the team.

Commenting on the national team's current situation, coach Joachim Löw said: "We are on course to qualify for the European Championship and of course we want to bring home a clear victory and three more points in Estonia, where the team and the players are in a development where it's up to us is to give them space, time, patience and trust.The players should and must be able to gain experience themselves, which is why games against strong opponents like Argentina are very helpful, where not only the result is in the foreground. Rüdiger, Draxler, Kehrer, Goretzka and Schulz some of the players we rely on in the rebuilding process, which inhibits the development and the bringing in. In such a process, continuity and constancy are important, but on the other hand, it always offers opportunities for young people , hungry players are there to present themselves to us.We are pleased to meet Nadiem Amiri in person.He has performed well in the past U21 European Championship and in the games with his club and earned a call. "

 

"Nadiem Amiri deserves his call-up to the German national team and has earned it by putting in strong performances over a long period of time. I'm happy for him, and he's incredibly proud of himself," Bosz said at the pre-match press conference ahead of Leverkusen's clash with RB Leipzig on Saturday.

If one notices new call ups over past 6 months, Stark, M.Eggestein, Waldschmidt, and Amiri (starting from Oct) and so far none have made their senior NT debut. I really hope Low plays Stark, Waldschmidt and Amiri, he's got 2 games including a friendly, no excuse.

 

Germany and their injury issues.

Low praises Waldschmidt.
National coach Löw followed the match live in the stadium and said after the game to Bild of the performance of Waldschmidt: "He has made a very good game today." Very agile, very dangerous. "

Waldschmidt should get chance
He was re-nominated for the upcoming matches of the national team against Argentina and Estonia. In all likelihood, Waldschmidt will be allowed to celebrate his debut for the senior national team there.

When asked about a possible assignment in the DFB team, Löw commented on the picture: "I think so, that is quite conceivable." Not the worst conditions for his debut.

As in the case of Marc-André ter Stegen, Waldschmidt will also get his chance.

It remains exciting to see whether Luca Waldschmidt manages to establish himself in the national team in the long term. In the focus Waldschmidt last played in any case. Due to his high speed, his move to the goal and the strong left foot, he is in the current form inevitably an asset to the DFB team

so what's the injury list.
Kroos, Hector, Ginter, Rudiger, Trapp, Draxler, Kehrer, Goretzka, Sane and Schulz.

anyone else?

10 players almost a full XI's worth of players.
at least Reus and Gundo are fit.

would guess Stark might finally get some playing time.

 

lol, he's not quitting if they lose he'll be like we were missing 10 players and playing newbs. A disgrace at the Euro is what could force a exit. Although not sure I want to see the team flop.....
