David Raum has been the main left-back for Germany in Julian Nagelsmann’s team. Unfortunately, the injury bug has continued to affect the squad, with yet another player missing the October international break. Germany has now seen potentially five starting players that will miss the window in Jamal Musiala, Kai Havertz, Niclas Füllkrug, Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, and David Raum.
In his place, Robin Gosens is making his return to the German national team. Gosens is now at 30-years-old, but not out of the fixture, playing Serie A football for Fiorentina at the moment. However, he has not exactly been in the same form as previous.
Germany fans will remember his exceptional tournament at EURO 2020, scoring multiple goals in the group stage. Gosens will likely be the number two option behind Maximilian Mittlestädt and it is likely Gosens will make it on the pitch for at least a short appearance in one of the fixtures.
With a clear lack of depth in the position, Gosens has been given the opportunity to potentially earn a staying position with the national team. Let’s see what the team can do over these fixtures with a significantly reduced squad.
