  "account": "Jürgen Klopp has excluded Denis Undav from Germany’s squad for upcoming UEFA Nations League games, according to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg. This surprising news comes from Plettenberg's report, which states that Undav was informed of his exclusion in a personal conversation with Klopp. Undav, who is considered one of Germany's best players at the World Cup, has reportedly been dropped after a slow start to the season. The Stuttgart man has been re-finding form in a new position behind Dženan Pejčinović at the striker role, but his exclusion from the national team has left many questioning Klopp's decision. With a reported squad size of up to 40 players, this decision may be seen as harsh, particularly with other players being brought in after just a few impressive performances in the Bundesliga.",
