Brajan Gruda set for Germany debut, Klopp gives him No. 10
Klopp praises the Leipzig winger and hands him the No. 10 shirt for Friday's Nations League tie away to Serbia.
RB Leipzig winger Brajan Gruda, 22, could make his debut for Germany this Friday in Belgrade against Serbia in the Nations League (kick-off 20:45). According to Sportschau, JĂŒrgen Klopp has praised him as a true street-football talent and will give him the No. 10 shirt, vacant since Jamal Musiala's injury.
Gruda has completed 36 successful dribbles this season, behind only Lamine Yamal, Yan Diomande and Kylian Mbappé across Europe's top five leagues. It would be his third attempt with the national team: he was in the squad for the friendly against Ukraine without playing, and in September he had to withdraw with an abdominal strain.
He arrived on loan from Brighton in February 2026, and Leipzig have a purchase obligation of 25 million euros that kicks in during the Bundesliga second half. Wael Mohya, 17, travels with the squad but is not in the matchday list.
