For the Final Four of the Nations League, according to Sky information, Nagelsmann is now planning to rely on the Dortmund defender Waldemar Anton again. The national coach is said to have already communicated the decision to Anton via phone a few days ago.

For the 28-year-old defender, the nomination also means good chances of securing a regular spot, as teammate Schlotterbeck is currently out due to a knee operation and it is also not yet certain whether Antonio Rüdiger will be fit for the tournament.

The German national team will face Portugal in the semi-finals of the Nations League in early June, probably with more playing time for Waldemar Anton.
