Seven Nigerian-Eligible Players Selected by Germany for International Break

The German Football Association has announced the national team squads for the upcoming FIFA window, featuring seven Nigerian-eligible players across various age levels. Notably, SC Freiburg's Noah Atubolu, who recently set a club record for minutes without conceding a goal, has been called up to the U21 squad. Additionally, four Bayern Munich players, including Leon Goretzka and Joshua Kimmich, have been selected for the senior team to face Italy in the UEFA Nations League quarterfinals. Former Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann, now managing the German national team, has had to make adjustments to the roster due to injuries and illnesses. Among those returning to the squad are Karim Adeyemi and Nadiem Amiri, while Serge Gnabry was dropped due to inconsistent performances. Overall, these selections reflect a blend of youth and experience as Germany prepares for crucial international matches.
