Will poor relationship with Manuel Neuer cost Alexander Nubel World Cup spot?

"Alexander Nübel is uncertain to be called up for the World Cup. Manuel Neuer does not have the best of relationships with Nübel. This could cost the latter his World Cup spot. Nagelsmann would then choose between Dahmen and Atubolu."

"A rift between Neuer and Nübel has been rumored for years, but this would seem to be extreme and unnecessary even for the most petty of rivalries as it could hurt the German national team, Bayern Munich, and Nübel alike."

"It should also be noted that nothing has been released by the German national team as of yet, so all of this could change and should be considered unofficial."

Alexander Nübel’s inclusion in Germany’s World Cup squad is uncertain due to an alleged poor relationship with Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. A potential omission could open a call-up opportunity for FC Augsburg’s Finn Dahmen or Eintracht Frankfurt’s Noah Atubolu. Rumors of a rift between Neuer and Nübel have circulated for years, but the situation is described as extreme because it could negatively affect the German national team and the players involved. No official information has been released by the German national team, so the claims are presented as unofficial and subject to change.
