Germany squad updates | Kai Havertz and Jamal Musiala depart DFB camp, Jonathan Burkardt and Florian Wirtz report early

Germany’s national team camp has seen the departures of Kai Havertz and Jamal Musiala, along with the early reporting of Jonathan Burkardt and Florian Wirtz. Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala is reportedly suffering another muscle strain, expected to sideline him for about three to four weeks after injuring his right thigh during warm-up for Germany’s 1-1 UEFA Nations League match against the Netherlands in Amsterdam.

The 23-year-old was initially included in Jürgen Klopp’s starting lineup but was forced to withdraw just before kick-off. Mainz 05 midfielder Nadiem Amiri replaced Musiala and earned his 14th senior international cap. Examinations later confirmed the muscle-fibre tear, leading Musiala to leave the Germany camp for treatment.

Meanwhile, Arsenal attacker Kai Havertz also left the camp after suffering a muscular strain in his left rear thigh, leaving the match after just 27 minutes. Eintracht Frankfurt striker Younes Ebnoutalib took his place. Klopp responded by incorporating Liverpool midfielder Florian Wirtz and Eintracht Frankfurt striker Jonathan Burkardt into the squad, making adjustments to a team that had already been modified for the Netherlands fixture.

Bayern’s Lennart Karl and Barcelona’s Karim Adeyemi also switched between the two groups for workload-management reasons. Karl will join the second squad for upcoming matches against Serbia and Greece, while Adeyemi featured from the start against the Netherlands. Klopp emphasized that the latest injury setback is unrelated to Musiala’s previous neurological issues, describing the thigh problem as a typical football injury.
