An FC Augsburg player has been called up to the German national team squad for the upcoming Nations League matches. Manager Jürgen Klopp included the player in his selection, a nomination viewed as a surprise.
The call-up comes as Augsburg sit third in the Bundesliga with seven points from three games. Recent results, including a 2-2 draw with Leverkusen and a 4-1 win in Frankfurt, demonstrate a team in strong form. The selection highlights the positive progress of Jess Thorup's side.
For the player, a first senior call-up under Klopp represents a major career milestone. He now joins a squad looking to make its mark in the Nations League. Strong individual performances in the Bundesliga have clearly caught the eye of the national team boss.
Augsburg's next fixture is away to Werder Bremen on Saturday. The current league table, which sees Augsburg just two points off top spot, is available at standings.
With just one defeat in their last five competitive matches, the club has established itself as a serious contender. The international break interrupts this positive run but also offers the squad a chance to recover. After the pause, Augsburg's push for a top position continues.
