US EditionGermany Opts Against Risking Musiala for Nations League Deciders
- Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann excluded Jamal Musiala from the Nations League squad for the June 4 semifinal against Portugal in Munich.
- Nagelsmann made this decision because Musiala has not played since early April due to a torn thigh muscle and is still recovering despite rejoining Bayern training on May 7.
- The squad also excludes key players Antonio Rüdiger, Kai Havertz, Nico Schlotterbeck, and Tim Kleindienst, while forwards Nick Woltemade and Tom Bischof join for the first time.
- In the semifinal, Joshua Kimmich is set to lead the German team as captain for the milestone of his 100th match, with the final or third-place game taking place in either Munich or Stuttgart four days afterward.
- Nagelsmann apparently chose to avoid risking Musiala by leaving him out as the team prepares for crucial Nations League matches this summer.
