Germany Send Jamie Leweling Home as Injuries Thin Squad

Overview

• Medical checks confirmed a calf problem for Jamie Leweling, who left Germany’s camp and returned to VfB Stuttgart to recover.
• Sky Germany, reported via Bavarian Football Works, said no player will be called up to replace Leweling.
• His exit adds to absences that already include Jamal Musiala, Aleksandar Pavlovic with a hip issue, Felix Nmecha with a ligament injury that will keep him out for weeks, and Nadiem Amiri.
• Julian Nagelsmann had already bolstered the group by calling up Chris Führich and Angelo Stiller to cover earlier withdrawals.
• Germany now approach friendlies against Switzerland and Ghana with a smaller group, which limits tactical testing and evaluation during the break.
