Bisseck ready to leave Germany, Schlotterbeck's absence

In the silence of his locker room, Yann Bisseck checks his phone: an unsaved German number, a voice of Jürgen Klopp. Nico Schlotterbeck's absence opens the door for Bisseck, who could start from the first minute in the clash against Greece, wearing the shirt of Germany.

Jürgen Klopp's call

The Inter defender received a short voicemail the day before the match, in which Klopp asked him to call back. Bisseck replied the next day, listened to the coach's words and learned the news that he had been called up. “I am thrilled, I can’t wait to go to the training camp,” he said.

Bisseck's only appearance with the national team dates back to March 23, 2025, against Italy in the Nations League. Since then the black‑and‑blue centre‑back has remained out of Germany's plans, despite his performances with Inter.

According to Sky Sport DE, Schlotterbeck's absence from the squad prompted the coach to slot Bisseck into the starting eleven. The relationship with the new head coach Jürgen Klopp has started in the best possible way.

For Bisseck this call represents a new opportunity to carve out space in Germany. After a long wait, the defender hopes to turn the call into a regular presence in the national team.

If Bisseck confirms his starting spot against Greece, the decision could influence Germany's defensive choices in the upcoming Nations League matches, marking a possible shift in direction for the back line.
