Manuel Neuer? - retired. Marc-André ter Stegen? - injured. Which player will now be the goalkeeper of the German national team? This question will be answered when Germany play Italy in the Nations League on March 20th and 23rd.
said DFB coach Julian Nagelsmann after the latest selection for the upcoming games.
It seemed like Hoffenheim's Oliver Baumann was ahead of Stuttgart's Alexander Nübel in the pecking order; however, Baumann just came back from an injury and might need more time to get back to full strength.
Nübel has the advantage of having played internationally this season with his club Stuttgart - can this factor be the deciding one? Nagelsmann did not want to comment further on this topic:
There are outside chances for Manchester City's Stefan Ortega for the number one spot, but they are very small. He was not able to gain a regular starting spot in Pep Guardiola's team - something Nagelsmann vaues highly when it comes to his own first team selection.
