Nagelsmann Faces Key Challenges in Nations League Quarterfinals Against Italy

With limited preparation time and significant injuries, Germany's coach must make critical decisions for the upcoming matches.

Germany's National Team is dealing with major offensive injuries, including Florian Wirtz and Kai Havertz, ahead of the Nations League quarterfinals against Italy.
Coach Julian Nagelsmann has emphasized the difficulty of preparing with only two short training sessions before the high-stakes matches on March 20 and 23.
Potential replacements for the injured players include Tim Kleindienst, Nadiem Amiri, and Karim Adeyemi, though no final decisions have been announced yet.
Nagelsmann has opted to keep Joshua Kimmich at right-back due to a lack of alternatives, even though the central midfield remains a weak point.
The coach is also deciding between Oliver Baumann and Alexander Nübel as the temporary first-choice goalkeeper in Marc-André ter Stegen's absence.
