  "account": "Sky broadcaster reports that new New Germany coach Jürgen Klopp is planning to exclude VfB Stuttgart striker Deniz Undav from his squad for the upcoming Nations League matches. According to a personal conversation with Klopp, Undav will not be included in the team, the broadcaster has reported. Undav, a key player for Stuttgart and their captain, has yet to score this season but has provided four assists across all competitions. With a strong record for Germany, the 30-year-old has scored nine goals in just 13 international appearances, including three goals at the World Cup earlier this year. Klopp had previously expressed his desire to see Undav in the starting line-up for Germany's opening game against Curaçao. However, it is now anticipated that Eintracht Frankfurt forwards Younes Ebnoutalib and Jonathan Burkardt will take his place when Klopp announces the squad on Thursday. Ebnoutalib, eligible to represent Morocco, would be making his Germany debut. Germany will play their first matches under Klopp against the Netherlands on September 24, followed by Greece on September 27 and Serbia on October 1, before traveling to Greece on October 4.",
