Paul Wanner has turned down Nagelsmann's invitation to join the senior NT for the last two NL matches, and will instead play with the U21s during the next international break.

Stefan Ortega otoh, will get his first callup.

Lee Carsley caps his term as England caretaker by calling up the last few of his u-21s he hadn't bestowed patronage caps upon, bringing in Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Lewis Hall (who I think would've and should've made the squad regardless).

I hope Harwood-Bellis, Angel Gomes, and Madueke had fun with Carsley in charge, because I don't think any of the three of them will ever pass the 15 cap mark.

U21 debuts for Bischof, Kemlein, and Collins. No Adeyemi, but this group should be absolutely stacked.

Mouki, Beier, Gruda, Wanner, & Bischof all have the talent to join Wirtsiala in the front 4. Martel, Reitz, or Kemlein could partner Pavlovic/Stiller in the double pivot. While Urbig & Atubolu are the furthest along in their development of the top-rated young german keepers.

A lot will depend on Raphinha and Vini in the attack.

MIDFIELDERS: André (Wolverhampton Wanderers, England), Andreas Pereira (Fulham, England), Bruno Guimarães (Newcastle United, England), Gerson (Flamengo, Brazil), Lucas Paquetá (West Ham, England), and Raphinha (Barcelona, Spain).
