Klopp wants to start with an XXL 30‑player squad at Nations League debut

Jürgen Klopp, 59 years old, wants to assemble an especially large squad for his debut as national team coach and nominate up to 30 players, in order to assess as many professionals as possible in the first Nations League window.

Squad selection and schedule

The official presentation of the squad will take place on Thursday at 10 a.m. at the DFB headquarters in Frankfurt. According to UEFA rules, only 23 players, including three goalkeepers, may be named for Nations League matches, while up to 26 players are allowed for the World Cup and European Championship. Klopp plans to spread the workload over the four international fixtures between September 24 and October 4 and must set the final match‑day squad no later than the day before each game.

Rotation plan, record and related topics

A possible rotation scheme could involve Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala, who recently missed games due to absences, as well as Nico Schlotterbeck, who celebrated his comeback at Borussia Dortmund after a serious knee injury. Klopp’s record shows 1,078 matches, 595 wins, 239 draws and 244 defeats – figures that underline his extensive experience.
