Adeyemi excluded from Germany as his minutes at Barça drop

The absence of Karim Adeyemi from Germany's latest squad has surprised, while Barça has played seven official matches since the first break, four in LaLiga and three in the Champions League, and German coach Jürgen Klopp selected 24 footballers for the fixtures against Serbia (November 13) and the Netherlands (November 16), leaving out the winger of the Catalan club.

Adeyemi was part of a preliminary list of 44 players in September, coinciding with the start of the German coach's tenure, but he was not included among the 24 chosen for the matches against Serbia (November 13) and the Netherlands (November 16).

Recent performance at Barça

In Barça's seven official matches, the player only accumulated 237 minutes of the possible 630, equivalent to 37 % of the total time.

He started against Betis, playing 63  minutes.

He also started against Alavés, playing the full 90  minutes.

He was not in the starting lineup for the European match against Galatasaray, although he came on for 31  minutes.

He was not in the starting lineup for the match against PSG, he participated for 30  minutes.

He did not play any minutes in the clash with Aston Villa.

In the league, he barely played five minutes against Real Madrid.

In the eight matches before the September break, he scored three goals and provided three assists.

In the seven subsequent matches, he only scored one goal, in the rout over Galatasaray.

The data show that he has not yet established himself as an undisputed starter in Hansi Flick's team.

The Premier League has set its eyes on Ebrima Tunkara, the eleventh Barça player called up for this break.

In any case, the decision represents a small step back for Adeyemi in his attempt to regain prominence with the German national team.

His speed, dribbling and ability to attack spaces are scarce qualities in Klopp's squad.
