US EditionUS-eligible Nathaniel Brown gets first call-up by Germany for World Cup qualifiers
Nathaniel Brown, eligible for both Germany and the U.S., joins the squad as Germany aims to recover from a poor start in UEFA Group A with two crucial qualifiers.
- Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann called up left back Nathaniel Brown, an Eintracht Frankfurt player born in Germany to an American father and German mother, for the Oct. 10 and Oct. 13 qualifiers.
- To help turn around the campaign, Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann targeted Brown, who said he was contacted about the United States but is happy to remain with Germany; playing competitively after age 20 would close the U.S. option.
- Nagelsmann recalled several defenders including Bayern Munich's Aleksandar Pavlovic and Borussia Dortmund's Nico Schlotterbeck and Felix Nmecha among five players, with Schlotterbeck back after meniscus recovery and Antonio Rüdiger out injured.
- Germany sit in a precarious group position after an opening loss to Slovakia last month, and Nagelsmann set a goal of two wins from two to stabilize their 2026 World Cup bid.
- Newcastle forward Nick Woltemade could now lead the attack after Niclas Füllkrug, West Ham, missed out due to injury, while Leroy Sané, former Bayern star now at Galatasaray, was omitted again.
