The Story in 60 Seconds

Germany manager Jürgen Klopp has left Barcelona winger Karim Adeyemi out of his squad for upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Serbia and the Netherlands. Adeyemi had started Klopp's first game in charge, but increased competition in attack and reduced playing time at club level contributed to his omission. Meanwhile, Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen, currently on loan at Ajax, was chosen by Klopp as Germany's starting goalkeeper for the November fixtures.

Klopp selected ter Stegen alongside Bayern Munich's Jonas Urbig and Beşiktaş's Alexander Nübel, establishing the veteran as his clear first-choice option. In attack, Werder Bremen forward Niclas Füllkrug returned following strong Bundesliga form, and Borussia Mönchengladbach's Wael Mohya received his first senior call-up. Adeyemi will remain at Barcelona's training grounds during the international break to focus on regaining form.
