Bundesliga star Versehen confirms squad spot before Klopp's nomination

Younes Ebnoutalib, a 23‑year‑old Bundesliga star from Eintracht Frankfurt, accidentally confirmed his squad place in the DFB squad under Jürgen Klopp with a broad grin and a friendly “Thank you”. The video was filmed during a short shopping trip in Frankfurt on Tuesday and was immediately spread on social media. This makes it clear that he will be part of the first national team phase at the end of September/early October.

Official nomination under Klopp

The very first official nomination of the DFB squad under the new national team coach Jürgen Klopp is imminent and is set to become the highlight of the German football world on Thursday tomorrow. The announcement is awaited by the entire football world with great expectation. Even the national team coaches emphasize that this nomination is an important step for the future of the national eleven.

Leaks and anticipation

Although several highly controversial leaks about the upcoming DFB squad are already circulating, the anticipation remains steadfast among many fans. Media reports about possible line‑ups have fueled the discussions, but the official announcement remains the central event. Even though the leaks cause confusion, the excitement stays high.

Ebnoutalib's season start

The 23‑year‑old attacker has started the new Bundesliga season brilliantly, with four goal involvements in the first three matchdays. This form contributed to rumors about his nomination already spreading widely across the landscape. The success in the league strengthens his position in the selection process.

Video moment in Frankfurt

In the video, provided by Ralf Ibing – firo sportphoto/GettyImages, Ebnoutalib is asked whether he is considering the DFB nomination. He responded with a broad grin, said “Thank you” and thereby confirmed the squad place – a clear mistake that is now going viral. In this footage he also showed that he looks forward to everything.

National deployment phase

The first deployment phase of the German national team ends at the end of September and begins in early October. Opponents will be the Netherlands, Greece and Serbia. This part of the preparation is seen by many as decisive for the start under Jürgen Klopp.

Double significance

For Ebnoutalib the nomination has a double significance, because it was long unclear whether he would choose the German or the Moroccan national team. The Moroccan federation has also tried to win the striker for itself. This situation also highlights the player's special status.

In the video Ebnoutalib explained that he looks forward to “everything”, underscoring his willingness to be part of the DFB squad. The official nomination on Thursday will therefore not only be a highlight, but also a clear signal to the entire football world.
