Overview
- During Prime Video’s coverage, Kramer said Nmecha would be a 2026 World Cup starter if he stays injury‑free, calling the prediction a hot take he feels very sure about.
- Mats Hummels, on air for his expert debut, described the forecast as a “warm take,” signaling it was bold without courting controversy.
- Nmecha started for Borussia Dortmund at Juventus and scored the temporary 2-1 in a 4-4 Champions League draw.
- The midfielder has four senior Germany caps to date, and any World Cup role remains a coaching decision under Julian Nagelsmann rather than a settled outcome.
- Sportbild notes injuries sidelined Nmecha for extended stretches since his move to Dortmund, though he has appeared in all five competitive matches this season and logged three scorer points.
