Nations League: Portugal release official statement on Ronaldo’s departure

Germany prepares to face Serbia in the 2026 UEFA Nations League on Thursday at the Allianz Arena. After a draw with the Netherlands and a home defeat to Greece, the team aims to secure their first victory under manager Jürgen Klopp. Nico Schlotterbeck will miss the match due to an ankle ligament injury sustained during training on Wednesday.

However, Bayern Munich goalkeeper Jonas Urbig will make his senior national team debut. Klopp is expected to make changes to the starting lineup to maximize the use of his extended squad. Cologne's Said El Mala and Juventus's Nico Woltemade are likely to feature in the starting 11, as they have not played in the previous two games.

Florian Wirtz, who started on the bench against Greece, will also play from the beginning against Serbia. When asked about his captaincy, Klopp stated that the player with the most international caps in the starting lineup will wear the armband in tomorrow's match. He emphasized that he will not reveal the full starting lineup now, but encouraged fans to look it up themselves.
