Germany Official Squad 2026 World Cup Qualifiers against Slovakia and Northern Ireland
The German national team, under the guidance of head coach Julian Nagelsmann, is set to begin its campaign for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The squad for the September fixtures, which includes an away match against Slovakia on September 4 and a home game against Northern Ireland on September 7, features a mix of established veterans, returning players, and some surprising new faces. The selection has been shaped by a number of key injuries to regular starters, prompting Nagelsmann to call up fresh talent.
Key Features of the Squad:
■ Notable Absences: The most significant omissions are due to injuries. Key players like Jamal Musiala, Kai Havertz, and goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen are all sidelined. Midfielder Aleksandar Pavlović is also absent as he continues to recover from a physical setback. In a surprise move, winger Leroy Sané, who recently transferred to Galatasaray, was left out of the squad, with Nagelsmann reportedly encouraging him to find his form in his new league.
■ Newcomers: To compensate for the injuries and provide a renewed dynamic, Nagelsmann has given first-time call-ups to three promising young players:
● Finn Dahmen (Goalkeeper, FC Augsburg)
● Nnamdi Collins (Defender, Eintracht Frankfurt)
Paul Nebel (Midfielder, Mainz)
These players have earned their spots with impressive performances in the Bundesliga and, in the case of Nebel and Collins, with the German U21 team.
Experienced Core:
Despite the absences, the squad maintains a strong core of experienced players. The defense will be anchored by seasoned veterans like Antonio Rüdiger (Real Madrid) and Jonathan Tah (Bayern Munich). In the midfield, the Bayern Munich trio of Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, and Serge Gnabry are expected to play a central role, alongside rising star Florian Wirtz (Liverpool).
Forward Line:
The attack will be led by Niclas Füllkrug (West Ham) and Nick Woltemade (Stuttgart), as Germany seeks to establish a consistent goalscoring threat in the absence of other regular starters.
