Germany's Nation's League Squad Announcement on May 22
Unveiling Nagelsmann's Team Secrets on the 22nd of May - Unveiling of Nagelsmann's Player List on the 22nd of May
Get ready, footie fans! Germany's top-tier coach Julian Nagelsmann is set to unveil the squad for the Nations League final on May 22, just days after the last match of the Bundesliga season.
The German Football Association (DFB) has announced that the DFB team will face off against Portugal, led by the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo, in the semi-finals on June 4 at 9:00 PM in Munich. The other semi-final will be held the next day in Stuttgart, featuring European champions Spain and World Cup runners-up France. The final and third-place playoff will take place on Sunday, June 8, with the final in Munich and the third-place match in Stuttgart.
Top Players in Question
Returning stars such as Marc-André ter Stegen (Barcelona) and Niclas Füllkrug (West Ham United), who both recovered from long-term injuries, may rejoin the squad after their long absences. However, concerns loom over the fitness of key players like attackers Jamal Musiala (Bayern Munich), Kai Havertz (Arsenal), and Antonio Rüdiger (Real Madrid), who is recovering from knee surgery. Dortmund’s Nico Schlotterbeck, who is still nursing a knee injury, won't be joining the team.
A Winning Title Boosts the Team's Self-Image
Nagelsmann will reunite the national players at the Herzogenaurach training grounds on May 30, recalling their last training camp during last year's home European Championship. Nagelsmann looks forward to the tournament with a strong ambition, aiming to boost Germany's image ahead of the World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico next year. "A title would do us good," Nagelsmann said after the quarter-final win against Italy in March.
