Nübel could be Germany's starting keeper against Greece
Germany coach Jürgen Klopp is set to change his starting goalkeeper for his debut on home soil in the Nations League match against Greece on Sunday. Alexander Nübel had an intensive one-on-one training with goalkeeper coach Andreas Kronenberg on Saturday and looks set to replace Marc-André ter Stegen between the posts.
Germany's goalkeeper coach Andreas Kronenberg conducted a focused one-on-one session with Alexander Nübel on Saturday, preparing him for a potential starting role against Greece in the UEFA Nations League Group B match on Sunday. Nübel, who has been with Besiktas Istanbul in Turkey since the summer, would be making his fourth international appearance. He had also been part of the squad for the World Cup as the third-choice goalkeeper.
Marc-André ter Stegen, who started in the 1-1 draw with the Netherlands on Thursday, will likely be replaced by Nübel at his home debut. Ter Stegen and Finnish goalkeeper Finn Dahmen trained on opposite sides of the pitch, with second goalkeeper coach Stefan Wessels overseeing their training.
In a customary practice, the media were only permitted to observe the initial 15 minutes of the session, as is standard before the official match. Klopp fielded an extensive squad, including forwards Florian Wirtz and Jonathan Burkardt, who had joined the team on Friday to replace injured players Jamal Musiala and Kai Havertz.
