Manuel Neuer is unlikely to be involved in the upcoming Nations League games against Hungary (7 September) and the Netherlands (10 September). Neuer is faced with two options: either to withdraw temporarily from the national team without making a final commitment and keep the door open on the 2026 World Cup - or to announce his international retirement. A decision will be communicated before Nagelsmann announces his next squad.
Neuer's decision will have a trickle-down effect on many players - and within the German national team's leadership structure. While no longer the captain, Neuer still carries a ton of weight in the locker room.
