Schlotterbeck hurt again Urbig set for Serbia debut

Sep 30

Tagesschau reports Nico Schlotterbeck's right-ankle lateral-ligament injury without player contact during Germany's final training before the next day's Nations League game against Serbia; Waldemar Anton is a possible replacement. Jonas Urbig is to make his senior international debut in Munich as part of a young lineup seeking the first win under Jürgen Klopp. Klopp asks that players receive the same development time as a new coach and uses a qualified ballet-company analogy to illustrate limited preparation. David Raum and Florian Wirtz are possible captains. The report notes Munich's first international during Oktoberfest since 1982. The lineup and captaincy include possibilities, and the Serbia match is still in the future.

Nico Schlotterbeck suffers a lateral-ligament injury in his right ankle during Germany's final training before the following day's Nations League match against Serbia. Tagesschau says it happened during a light drill without contact from another player, after he had only recently recovered from injury. Waldemar Anton is a possible replacement. This is the training injury, not a future match result or a confirmed replacement selection.
