Klopp's 57-man plan: Germany's World Cup 2026 restart Jürgen Klopp has compiled a list of 57 outfield players for the Germany national team. With this selection, the manager is planning a fresh start. Germany top their World Cup group with 6 points after three games (2 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss).
Who has a chance? Klopp's list includes established stars like Jonathan Tah, Nico Schlotterbeck, and Kai Havertz. But young talents like Elias Baum and Rafael Pinto Pedrosa could also get their opportunity. The 18-year-old Pedrosa recently reached the U19 European Championship final.
Why the change? Klopp wants to be bold and give new players a chance. "Players will get opportunities who don’t expect it," said the manager. With his bold approach, he could transform German football.
What's next? Germany's next challenge is the match against the Netherlands on September 24. A strong performance could make the restart perfect.
