"Jona is in the team council. Unfortunately not many of them are available. Jona deserved it through his performances and also his position, as he has the game in front of him. He's playing a very good season at Bayern alongside Upa. He deserves to wear the armband tomorrow,"
"Ridle Baku will replace Joshua Kimmich in the starting lineup tomorrow. Jonathan Tah will wear the captain's armband,"
"The German national team is back in action and has two very winnable games during this international break. With Luxembourg and Slovakia on deck, the Germans should be well-poised to pick up two victories. Against Luxembourg, Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann should be able to play with his lineup a bit, but against Slovakia, Nagelsmann will have to be on-point. Last time around, Slovakia stunned the Germans 2-0 and Nagelsmann will want to avoid a repeat of that flat performance."
Julian Nagelsmann named Jonathan Tah acting captain for the Luxembourg match based on Tah's performances and his role in the team council. Ridle Baku will start at right-back in place of Joshua Kimmich. Germany faces Luxembourg and Slovakia during a favourable international break and aims to secure two victories. Nagelsmann can experiment with the lineup against Luxembourg but must be sharp versus Slovakia after a 2-0 loss in their last meeting. The coaching staff highlights Tah's strong season at Bayern and his positional perspective on the game.
