Nick Woltemade Joins German Squad; Kevin Schade Called Up for World Cup Qualifiers

The German national football team is adjusting its squad ahead of crucial World Cup qualifying matches. Forward Nick Woltemade, who had been sidelined due to a flu illness, is expected to join the team in Herzogenaurach, marking a positive update for coach Julian Nagelsmann. However, Woltemade's participation in team training remains uncertain due to his recent illness. Meanwhile, Stuttgart's Jamie Leweling faces adductor problems, prompting Nagelsmann to call up Kevin Schade of FC Brentford as a forward replacement. Schade is set to join the squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Luxembourg and Northern Ireland, with the match against Luxembourg scheduled for Friday at 20:45. These squad changes come as Germany aims to secure progress in their World Cup qualification campaign.
