Nagelsmann Revamps Germany Squad for Nations League Quarterfinals Against Italy

Leon Goretzka returns to the national team after 16 months, alongside debutant Yann Aurel Bisseck and other notable recalls.

Leon Goretzka has been recalled to the German national team by coach Julian Nagelsmann after a strong run of form with Bayern Munich, ending a 16-month absence.
Yann Aurel Bisseck, a 24-year-old defender from Inter Milan, has been called up for his first appearance in the national squad.
Nadiem Amiri of Mainz 05 returns to the team after more than four years, with his last cap dating back to November 2020 under Joachim Löw.
Nagelsmann faces significant challenges due to injuries to key players, including Florian Wirtz, Kai Havertz, and Benjamin Henrichs, as well as illness affecting Aleksandar Pavlovic.
Germany aims to secure a spot in the Nations League Final Four, with matches scheduled against Italy on March 20 in Milan and March 23 in Dortmund.
