The news that Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala would miss the Eintracht Frankfurt this week and the upcoming international games in the UEFA Nations League with the German national team created a void on the roster for Die Mannschaft.
As expected, that spot will be filled by VfB Stuttgart’s Jamie Leweling per a release from the DFB:
Jamal Musiala will not travel to the national team in Herzogenaurach on Monday as planned. The 36-time international from FC Bayern Munich will not be available to national coach Julian Nagelsmann for the two upcoming international matches in the UEFA Nations League against Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Netherlands due to hip problems. Nagelsmann nominated Jamie Leweling from VfB Stuttgart to replace Musiala this Friday. The 23-year-old former German junior international will thus be in the senior national team squad for the first time.
Musiala’s injury is not considered serious at this point as both Bayern Munich and Germany prefer taking a conservative approach with the player’s discomfort.
