According to Sky Sport Germany, Schlotterbeck has recovered from injury and is expected to be called up for Germany's next squad, marking his first appearance under Klopp's leadership.

After 84 days out with an ankle injury, Schlotterbeck finally returned to Borussia Dortmund's starting lineup. He played nearly 80 minutes in Borussia Dortmund's 3-0 victory over Paderborn, delivering a solid performance.

After the match, Schlotterbeck told DAZN: "I feel good and we played well, so I'm happy." However, he also acknowledged feeling significant fatigue late in the match: "To be honest, it's the first time in my career that I've felt a bit tired in the final stages of a game, so I had to come off."

Whether Schlotterbeck will be included in Klopp's Germany squad ultimately depends on the national team coach's decision. Borussia Dortmund sporting director Buch revealed after the match that the club had discussed Schlotterbeck's national team prospects with the German Football Association and Klopp.

"Of course we've talked to the German Football Association and also with Klopp. But we'll see what the final outcome is," he said.

Given that Schlotterbeck has just returned from injury, the Germany team may also exercise caution with his usage, potentially limiting his playing time or easing him back gradually.
