Jonas Urbig set for Bayern goalkeeper debut in Germany

Jonas Urbig Bayern-Torwart (Bayern goalkeeper (Keeper)) stands in München, ready for his Germany debut (Debüt) as the DFB listed the 23‑year‑old for Thursday’s Nations League clash with Serbia at the Allianz Arena. The federation’s press‑conference announcement (Zeichen) follows UEFA protocol that a player named will likely feature in the next match.

Klopp’s debut signalling rule

National team manager Jürgen Klopp has previously confirmed that a press‑conference listing signals a starter, as he did before the Amsterdam debut against the Netherlands (1:1) and the home debut against Greece (0:1). Klopp still has one open question vor the Serbia match, as he has not yet commented on the goalkeeper choice.

Klopp has not yet spoken publicly about the goalkeeper question, but a debut is now certain. Finn Dahmen of FC Augsburg and Noah Atubolu of Eintracht Frankfurt also remain without a national team (Einsatz) to date.

In the 1:1 draw with the Netherlands, Marc‑André ter Stegen, then playing for Ajax Amsterdam, guarded the net, while Alexander Nübel of Besiktas Istanbul kept goal in the 0:1 loss to Greece.

Squad options and captaincy

The captaincy remains undecided after Joshua Kimmich dropped out of the squad. Potential successors on the bench include Serge Gnabry, Florian Wirtz, David Raum and Nico Schlotterbeck – the quartet with the most national‑team caps among the current roster.

On Tuesday, all 25 squad members took part in a training session in Herzogenaurach, with every player on the pitch (Alle). The final training will also be held there before the team travels by bus to München for the match.

In the Nations League group, Germany sit on one point in third place, Greece lead with six points, the Netherlands sit on four, and Serbia are still on zero.

With the DFB’s indication and the press conference set for Wednesday at 18.00, Urbig’s first Einsatz for the national side is expected on Thursday, pending the coach’s final line‑up.
