Klopp confirms Pavlović start in Greece, discusses Kimmich's Germany future

Ahead of Germany's upcoming rematch against Greece, Jürgen Klopp has confirmed that Aleksandar Pavlović and Jonas Urbig will start in goal. Speaking to the media, Klopp joked that Pavlović "can't talk his way out of the team." While it appears there won't be any goalkeeper changes for the match, Klopp left the door open for potential adjustments.

The other goalkeepers involved in the team's regular season play regularly for their clubs, with Urbig being the exception due to Bayern Munich's lack of a first-choice goalkeeper. Klopp emphasized that no issues should arise in goal, as everyone had performed well.

When asked about the future of Joshua Kimmich in Germany's midfield, Klopp provided a candid answer. While conceding that Kimmich had played well against Serbia last Thursday, Klopp questioned the notion of a single player remaining untouchable. He highlighted the importance of having different types of players on the field, including leaders and those adept at covering ground.

Klopp acknowledged Germany's possession of more than just three exceptional midfield talents, suggesting that the squad would be well-equipped to handle various challenges.
