Germany Send Jamie Leweling Home as Injuries Thin Squad
Nagelsmann declines a replacement to face Switzerland and Ghana with fewer options.
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.
