    Serge Gnabry leaves Germany camp to return to Bayern Munich
    Gnabry was included in both of Jürgen Klopp's squads for the four UEFA Nations League matches across this three-week break, playing a part in all three games so far in his attempt to build up fitness after missing the FIFA World Cup this past summer with an adductor injury. In the 2-0 win over Serbia, he wore the captain's armband for the first time, which he described as a 'wonderful experience'.
    However, ahead of the Greece clash, he has returned to his club to prepare for the return of t

    With an inflated squad, several players naturally seized their opportunity, and hope to be included in Klopp’s squad for the November international break.

    The Freiburg winger made a strong case for being called upon in five weeks' time for Germany’s games against Serbia and the Netherlands. He edged out Cologne’s Saïd El Mala for a starting berth, and justified Klopp’s selection.

    The experienced shot-stopper has struggled with injuries in recent seasons, and the presence of Manuel Neuer in between the sticks before that, but has now been made Germany’s first-choice keeper under Klopp.
    "A team needs stability and a spine, and then you can add a lot of youth around that,” explained the former Borussia Dortmund boss. “I’ve known him for ages. Manuel Neuer was the best goalkeeper in the world for a long time. N

    After featuring for Bosnia at this past summer's FIFA World Cup, Džeko had announced he would retire from international football following one final outing, which came against Sweden.
    Although he could not inspire his team to victory, he played 63 minutes and wore the captain's armband in front of a sell-out crowd in Zenica. He would have had the perfect farewell if his goal in first-half injury-time not been ruled out by VAR, but it was a memorable evening nonetheless.

    In just his second appearance for the national team, the 21-year-old looked at home in the heart of Germany’s midfield, providing a constant threat going forward and displaying his excellent range of passing.
    While Bischof’s taste for a strike from long-range strike was also on show, he didn’t manage to find the back of the net with one this time, rather smashing home from inside the six-yard area after a Florian Wirtz effort had hit the post.
