Jürgen Klopp has confirmed that Marc ter Stegen will not be the first choice goalkeeper for Germany's upcoming Nations League match against Greece. The Ajax goalkeeper was preferred by Klopp in the recent friendly against the Netherlands, but the national team coach wants to give Alexander Nübel a chance in the German goal. Nübel, who has been playing for Besiktas since the summer, deserves to play, according to Klopp, who hopes he will enjoy the experience and keep a clean sheet.
Klopp has also ruled out Florian Wirtz from starting against Greece, citing the midfielder's lack of training hours. Wirtz was brought into the squad early due to Jamal Musiala's injury, but Klopp believes it would be the worst decision to play him without sufficient training. The Liverpool midfielder is not in the best phase of his career, according to Klopp, who acknowledges that Wirtz has learned a lot in his first year at the club.
