His recall is seen as a major boost for Germany\u2019s defensive structure heading into a crucial stage of qualification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">San\u00e9 Dropped After Galatasaray Switch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest surprises was the omission of <strong>Leroy San\u00e9<\/strong>. The winger, who recently completed a move to <strong>Galatasaray<\/strong>, has been left out despite his talent and international pedigree. Reports suggest Nagelsmann is focusing on form and tactical fit as he reshapes the squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Injuries Force Fresh Faces<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With <strong>Jamal Musiala<\/strong> and goalkeeper <strong>Marc-Andr\u00e9 ter Stegen<\/strong> sidelined due to injury, Nagelsmann has handed opportunities to <strong>three newcomers<\/strong>, signaling his willingness to blend young talent with established stars. Their inclusion adds both unpredictability and excitement to the squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udde9\ud83c\uddea A Squad Under the Microscope<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Germany\u2019s recent performances have been underwhelming, and the pressure is mounting on Nagelsmann to deliver results. The combination of experienced leaders like R\u00fcdiger and hungry new call-ups could prove decisive as the team looks to secure qualification.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann has revealed his 23-man squad for the upcoming September World Cup qualifiers, with some<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[121,122],"tags":[117,120,115,116,118,119],"class_list":["post-199","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international-football","category-world-cup-qualifiers","tag-antoniorudiger","tag-diemannschaft","tag-germany","tag-juliannagelsmann","tag-leroysane","tag-worldcupqualifiers"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.0 -
