The list of players who are not available for the test match on Wednesday against Argentina, has become even longer for coach Joachim Loew: Even Jonathan Tah, Ilkay Gündogan and Timo Werner can not play because of injury and illness on Wednesday. So, other players get their chance - Löw guaranteed the Herthanian Niklas Stark and the Freiburg Luca Waldschmidt their debut in the national team.
"The situation is very tense and very unpleasant," said Löw in the face of the cancellation. The national coach has to do without more than ten players, including proven players such as Gladbach's Matthias Ginter or the PSG players Julian Draxler and Thilo Kehrer. Therefore, Löw made for him rather uncommonly several Nachnominierungen - Freiburg's Robin Koch and Sebastian Rudy 1899 Hoffenheim were appointed to the national team on Monday. "Sebastian Rudy knows the procedures, he has always been an important player with me," Löw explained why he called Rudy back after a long break.
In addition to Koch and Waldschmidt also the Schalke Suat Serdar is here for the first time. His appeal was received by the Turkish Federation with incomprehension. "I was with his father and at Schalke games, only for Suat. We respect his decision, but it should have been said openly," said the coach of the Turkish national team, Senol Günes, at a press conference before the European Championship qualifiers against Albania and France.
Günes criticizes the approach of the former player of Mainz 05, who was born in Bingen am Rhein. According to the 67-year-old, the Turkish Federation had been left in the dark, whether Serdar will decide for Germany or Turkey, so that the Nachnominierung the U21 European Vice-champion by coach Joachim Loew surprised those responsible.
"It was said that Serdar would not run for the German national team," Günes said, why the Turkish Association had made great hopes for the use of offensive power. However, Serdar had been appointed for a German selection at the age of 13 and had subsequently passed through the German youth teams.
