Manchester City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega has been called up to Germany for the first time, after coach Julian Nagelsmann on Thursday named his Nations League squad. The 32-year-old was called up alongside Stuttgart’s Alexander Nuebel and Hoffenheim’s Oliver Baumann as goalkeepers in the 23-man squad. Germany’s number one goalkeeper, Barcelona’s Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, is still out with a serious knee injury. Borussia Dortmund midfield duo Julian Brandt and Felix Nmecha have also been recalled to the squad. Brandt has not played for Germany since November last year while Nmecha received his one international cap under former coach Hansi Flick in March 2023. Germany hosts Bosnia and Herzegovina in Freiburg on November 16 and play away against Hungary in Budapest three days later. The Germans have already qualified for the Nations League quarter finals with three wins and a draw this campaign. “After reaching the quarter-finals early, we want to win our Nations League group – if possible in front of our fans at the home game in Freiburg,” Nagelsmann said on Thursday.
