- Why Anton Stach has been snubbed by Germany after events at Leeds United

While the 27-year-old wasn't in the World Cup squad, Jurgen Klopp recalled him to the team for the previous three-week break.
Stach will stay with Daniel Farke at Thorp Arch this time around.
The former Hoffenheim midfielder played against the Netherlands and Greece in September.
While the Germany international hasn't been at his best this season, there may be more to his exclusion from the national side.
What Anton Stach has been dealing with at Leeds United

Things are looking underwhelming for the West Yorkshire outfit after a decent start to the campaign.
Klopp has made 22 changes to his squad for the upcoming international break and Stach is one of them.
YEP journalist Kyle Newbould feels the rest would be good for the midfielder, who has been "managing a foot issue" at Elland Road.

While Stach may not be fully fit, his inclusion in the starting lineup adds more physicality and energy to the West Yorkshire outfit's attack.
Harry Wilson, Brenden Aaronson, Dan James and Noah Okafor aren't the best at competing physically with defenders.
The German ace plays as a more attack-minded midfielder, with Ethan Ampadu and Ao Tanak deeper in the engine room.
In the last two games, Dominic Calvert-Lewin hasn't had anyone to support him adequately against the centre-backs and the former Hoffenheim ace could do just that against Spurs.
