"Rudiger was excluded from Germany's matches in June in response to his outburst in the Copa del Rey final when he received a red card despite being on the bench after appearing to throw something at the referee. As such, Nagelsmann criticised the defender's behaviour, with Rudiger apologising in a recent interview, saying it was "wrong and excessive"."
"While Rudiger makes a return to the national side, Sane, who has 70 caps for Germany, will play no part in September. He has recently moved to Galatasaray after leaving Bayern Munich. Nagelsmann has challenged the winger to stand out in the Turkish Super Lig ahead of the next international break."
"There are also three newcomers in the 23-man party, with Eintracht Frankfurt's defender Nnamdi Collins, goalkeeper Finn Dahmen from Augsburg and Mainz midfielder Paul Nebel included. Nagelsmann has been hit with a wave of injuries, and is without the likes of Jamal Musiala, Kai Havertz, Tim Kleindienst, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Nico Schlotterbeck and Benjamin Henrichs."
Julian Nagelsmann recalled Antonio Rudiger to Germany's squad for the September World Cup qualifiers after previously excluding him following an outburst that led to a red card while he was on the bench. Rudiger apologised, calling his conduct "wrong and excessive". Leroy Sane, a 70-cap winger who moved to Galatasaray from Bayern Munich, was omitted and has been challenged to impress in the Turkish Super Lig before the next international break. Three newcomers—Nnamdi Collins, Finn Dahmen and Paul Nebel—join the 23-man party. Several regulars are absent through injury. Germany face Slovakia on 4 September and Northern Ireland on 7 September.
