Jürgen Klopp’s latest 44-man squad readies its next batch of German debutants.
Klopp’s latest 44-man roster is gearing up, and several fresh faces could soon earn their first senior cap.
<!–>
Jonas Urbig: Although he has not had too many opportunities to distinguish himself this season, the 23-year-old kept seven clean sheets in 14 Bundesliga appearances last term. Those impressive performances have now earned him a return to the Germany set-up after serving as a training goalkeeper at the World Cup – and it has been confirmed that he will start against Serbia.

Noah Atubolu: The 24‑year‑old keeper guided Freiburg to a Europa League final last season, then moved to Eintracht Frankfurt where he shattered a Bundesliga record with a sixth straight penalty save on Matchday 3. He now eyes his first Germany shirt.
Finn Jeltsch: At just 20, the Stuttgart centre‑back has never missed a minute this campaign and wins 59 % of his duels. In my view, Jeltsch is a future stalwart for Germany under Klopp.
Felix Keidel: The 23‑year‑old could become Elversberg’s maiden Germany international. After a full‑back season, he now operates as a defensive midfielder, starting all four league games and netting a curling free‑kick on Matchday 2 to force a 3‑3 draw in Mönchengladbach.

Vitaly Janelt: After years in Germany’s shadows, the midfielder spent six seasons in England, swapping Bochum for Brentford in October 2020 and earning promotion at once. The west‑London side, alongside fellow German Kevin Schade, now sit fourth in the Premier League, while Janelt has become one of the league’s most reliable midfielders.
Mika Baur: Son of handball legend Markus Baur, the Paderborn midfielder helped secure promotion with nine direct contributions (four goals, five assists). He joined Scottish champions Celtic this summer and is featuring in the Europa League, his Germany call‑up capping a swift ascent.
Saïd El Mala: The 20‑year‑old burst onto the scene last season, scoring 13 goals to steer Cologne clear of relegation. He became the second‑youngest ever to hit a 13th Bundesliga tally on the final day versus Bayern, trailing only Horst Köppel’s 1967/68 record by a day. He opened the current campaign with a goal against Hoffenheim and leads the team with ten shots so far, eager to replicate that impact for Germany.
Derry Scherhant: The Freiburg forward has started every Bundesliga match, netting against Bremen and delivering three assists. With 21 shots, only a handful of league stars have been busier. Can his rising form translate into a regular spot for Germany this summer?
