Julian Nagelsmann must forgo several players for the Nations League final tournament. A Bayern player is also not yet ready for action.

National coach Julian Nagelsmann will apparently forgo nominating Jamal Musiala for the Final Four of the Nations League. This is reported by 'kicker'. Accordingly, Musiala is expected to skip the tournament to be available for FC Bayern at the Club World Cup.

This likely fulfills a request from Bayern's sports director Max Eberl. Musiala suffered a muscle bundle tear at the beginning of April and has been out since. He has now returned to training with the ball.

As 'kicker' further reports, the tournament is likely also too early for Antonio Rüdiger. The defender had to undergo knee surgery a few weeks ago and is also aiming for a comeback at the Club World Cup.

According to the report, Nagelsmann will also not consider Kai Havertz and Marc-André ter Stegen – both recently returned to the field for their clubs after longer absences but are to be rested.

According to the specialist magazine, Serge Gnabry and Robin Gosens are expected to return to the squad. 'Bild' had already reported on Gnabry's nomination.
