According to Sport1, Effenberg believes Urbig's selection for the German national team depends on whether he gets playing time at Bayern Munich.

If new German national team coach Klopp calls up Bayern Munich's backup goalkeeper Urbig for his first squad, Effenberg believes the decision should hinge on whether Urbig plays in Bayern's match against Elversberg.

Effenberg said on the show "FIROCKX Doppelpass": "I think the key issue is whether Urbig plays today. If not, he shouldn't be called up." Bayern Munich will face the newly promoted side in this match, and it remains unclear whether Urbig or number-one goalkeeper Neuer will start.

Effenberg said Urbig "needs matches—he's played a few already." He added: "If he doesn't get a chance to play today, Klopp probably won't call him up." The young Bayern Munich goalkeeper has been considered a candidate for the German national team in recent weeks, despite clearly being behind Neuer at Bayern as the club's second-choice goalkeeper.

Effenberg on Karius

Neuer and Bayern Munich stated during what may be Neuer's final contract extension that Urbig would receive some playing time. However, so far Urbig has only played in the first round of the DFB-Pokal against Osnabrück.

Recently, another German goalkeeper, Karius, has attracted attention again. After helping Schalke 04 win promotion, the 33-year-old goalkeeper has also performed well in the Bundesliga. However, Effenberg believes it's too early to discuss Karius's selection for the German national team. Effenberg said: "If I were Karius, I'd say: keep up this form, and you'll get a chance later."
