Jurgen Klopp named two separate Germany squads for Nations League matches against Netherlands, Serbia, and Greece, calling up 44 players. The squads include 16 uncapped players such as Said El Mala, Max Rosenfelder, Philipp Treu, Derry Scherhant, and Mika Baur, while Deniz Undav was omitted for fitness reasons and Joshua Kimmich will play midfielder. Marc-Andre ter Stegen is first-choice goalkeeper with recalls for Karim Adeyemi, Anton Stach, and Kevin Schade.

One squad faces Netherlands and Greece in September, the other plays Serbia and Greece in October. Klopp wore a baseball cap reading "one of 83 million" in German flag colours, responding to the far-right AfD's victory in Saxony-Anhalt. He urged unity, saying the flag should not be left to the wrong people and that football must foster community.

The AfD won over 43% of the vote, reflecting a broader trend of rising support across eastern Germany.
