Jürgen Klopp has made some significant changes to his Germany squad for the upcoming November internationals, trimming his original 44-player September selection down to a much more manageable 24 players.
That means 22 players who were part of Klopp's initial selection have not been nominated this time around. Some absences are injury-related, while others are the result of difficult selection decisions, increased competition, and Klopp wanting to narrow down his options.
Here is the complete breakdown by position, including each player's current club:
Finn Dahmen — FC Augsburg
Noah Atubolu — Eintracht Frankfurt
Hennes Behrens — FC Augsburg
Yann Aurel Bisseck — Inter Milan
Max Rosenfelder — SC Freiburg
Josha Vagnoman — VfB Stuttgart (injured)
Ridle Baku — RB Leipzig
David Raum — RB Leipzig
Nadiem Amiri — Mainz 05
Bambasé Conté — TSG Hoffenheim
Yannik Engelhardt — SC Freiburg
Chris Führich — VfB Stuttgart
Serge Gnabry — Bayern Munich (injured)
Jamal Musiala — Bayern Munich (injured)
Anton Stach — Leeds United
Vitaly Janelt — Brentford FC
Kevin Schade — Brentford FC
Mika Baur — Celtic FC
Karim Adeyemi — FC Barcelona
Felix Keidel — SV Elversberg
Nick Woltemade — Juventus
Jonathan Burkardt — Eintracht Frankfurt
Bayern Munich has two players missing from the September selection, although Gnabry and Musiala are both dealing with injuries.
There are also some notable established internationals missing, including Bisseck, Amiri, Führich, Adeyemi, Raum, and Woltemade.
Of course, this does not necessarily mean the door is closed for any of these players. Klopp has already emphasized how difficult it was to reduce the original selection, and several of these players will undoubtedly remain in contention for future call-ups.
The competition for places in this Germany squad is only getting started.
