Jurgen Klopp makes immediate Florian Wirtz decision after first Germany match

Germany manager Jurgen Klopp has called up Liverpool attacker Florian Wirtz and Eintracht Frankfurt forward Jonathan Burkardt earlier than originally scheduled. The call-ups follow injuries suffered by Jamal Musiala and Kai Havertz around Germany's Nations League draw against the Netherlands. Wirtz was originally named in a secondary squad slated for the second week of the international break.

Musiala suffered an issue during the pre-match warm-up, while Havertz sustained a hamstring injury during the match. Both injured players have departed the national team camp. The 23-year-old Wirtz has recorded one assist across six starts in Liverpool's first seven matches of the 2026/27 campaign.
