On SPORT1, Effenberg and Neururer discussed Kimmich's position in the German national team. Both stated that as captain, Kimmich should always be an important member of the squad.

German coach Klopp's decision to leave Kimmich out of Nations League matches against Serbia and the away trip to Greece has sparked debate about the Bayern Munich star's status in the team.

Effenberg stated: "The captain of the German national team must always have a place in the starting XI."

Neururer shared a similar view, saying: "As long as he's fit, he should always be called up to the squad. Because even if the captain doesn't play, he still has certain responsibilities."

According to Effenberg, the captain must always be with the team. He said: "The team is being rebuilt and restructured, and a new hierarchy will form within the squad. In this process, you need a captain. Let Kimmich rest against Serbia, then travel with the team to Greece for the match. The captain must always be an integral part of the team."

Neururer also emphasized Kimmich's status, stating: "Kimmich is the German national team captain, and he will continue to be the captain. He also has special responsibilities at Bayern Munich."

Neururer, who has coached Bundesliga teams for a long time, further stated: "As the team grows, the captain is a key figure in leading it. That way, I can also occasionally tell the captain: 'For this reason or that, you won't be in the squad tomorrow, specifically not in the starting eleven.'"

While acknowledging Bischoff's performance, Effenberg still clearly views the 21-year-old as a challenger to Kimmich's starting position.

Regarding Kimmich, Effenberg said: "He is an absolute starter for Bayern Munich and captain of the German national team. Therefore, he naturally has an advantage in this regard."

Regarding Bischoff, Effenberg said: "He first needs to become a regular starter at his own club before he can establish himself in the German national team. So he's moving in the right direction, but he's not there yet. That's why I don't understand this discussion. Kimmich is a starter for Bayern, has won every trophy, and has made over 100 appearances for Germany – how can you just give up on a player like that? That's absurd!"
