New-look Germany start life under manager Jürgen Klopp as they commence the 2026-27 Nations League

Legendary Spanish midfield figure Xavi succeeds Ronald Koeman after a disappointing World Cup defeat by Morocco for the Dutch.

Liverpool legend Klopp succeeded Julian Nagelsmann as head coach following a disappointing early exit from the FIFA World Cup. He gets his tenure underway with four matches in the UEFA Nations League in September and October, naming two separate squads to tackle the four fixtures.

Dutch striker Brian Brobbey scored a hat-trick for Sunderland in their recent 5-3 defeat to a rampant Manchester City. The burly striker was a handful in a recent match against Premier League champions Arsenal, too, so Germany will need to devise a plan to contain the 24-year-old.

Klopp has named two 22-man squads for Germany’s four internationals. For this clash and the fixture versus Greece on Sunday 27 September.

Netherlands (433): Verbruggen; Dumfries, Van Dijk, Van de Ven, Ake; Gravenberch, Veerman, Reijnders; Frimpong, Brobbey, Gakpo.

Germany (4231): Nubel; Kimmich, Schlotterbeck, Tah, Brown; Nmecha, Amiri; Gnabry, Karl, Musiala; Havertz.
