The former Bayern Munich star backs Marc-André ter Stegen in goal and includes breakout names as Jürgen Klopp prepares for his first match in charge.
Former Bayern Munich and Germany star Lothar Matthäus has suggested a starting lineup for Germany's UEFA Nations League match against the Netherlands on September 24, a game that will mark Jürgen Klopp's first at the helm.
Writing in his role as a pundit, Matthäus largely stuck with familiar names while making a few changes from the Julian Nagelsmann era. Among his picks is VfB Stuttgart's Josha Vagnoman, who has just two senior caps, both earned in friendlies under Hansi Flick.
In goal, Matthäus would hand the start to the more experienced Marc-André ter Stegen over Alexander Nübel. The lineup also features emerging players such as Kevin Schade, Felix Nmecha, and Nathaniel Brown.
Klopp named two separate squads for the upcoming international breaks, including several players who have not yet represented Germany at senior level. The match against the Netherlands will offer a first look at how his new approach takes shape.
