Adeyemi moves up in Germany’s Nations League squad plans

Karim Adeyemi’s dream start to life at FC Barcelona—two goals and three assists in seven matches—has caught the eye of the new Germany head coach. As reported by Mundo Deportivo, Jürgen Klopp included the forward in his first squad, split into two groups for the UEFA Nations League window.

Adeyemi arrives earlier

Originally, Adeyemi was scheduled for matchdays 3 and 4: Germany against Serbia on October 1 and Greece on October 4. However, Mundo Deportivo says he brought his start forward this Monday due to issues affecting the player he was set to replace.

The outlet adds that Lennart Karl (Bayern Munich) is dealing with minor problems, and because of workload concerns he has moved to the second list, with Adeyemi stepping in for this main group.

Fixtures and next calls

Germany begin their campaign on Thursday, traveling to the Netherlands, and then host Greece on Sunday. Mundo Deportivo highlights that Karim Adeyemi will be available for both matches, alongside Marc ter Stegen, the Barcelona goalkeeper currently on loan at Ajax. The key question now is what happens for the following two games—versus Serbia and then in Greece—which were the ones Adeyemi was initially due to play.

Alongside the selection news, the same report also references Barça-related quotes, including remarks from Ferran Torres and Raphinha, tied to the club’s wider spotlight during this international break.
