Former German national team player Hitzlsperger believes that calling up Kimmich but not playing him is a major problem for the German national team, and has warned Klopp to communicate with the player as soon as possible.

Hitzlsperger told Sky Sports ahead of the Dortmund vs. Werder Bremen match: "This is very complicated. I really want to see what happens next."

On Kimmich's situation, Hitzlsperger said: "Klopp is good at many things, and he also knows that if this isn't resolved quickly, it could become a major problem. Calling up Kimmich and not using him is a major problem."

The 44-year-old former German international warned the national team coach: "There's explosive potential here. I think Klopp needs to speak with Kimmich as soon as possible, in whatever direction that takes. Does he still see a future for Kimmich, or does he say 'I have plenty of young players here'? This needs to be clarified, first between the two of them, and then made public. If not, this topic will drag on for a long time and hurt everyone."

Recently, there has been much discussion about whether Kimmich will retain his core position in the German national team due to tactical changes and outstanding performances from young midfielders.

In the 2-0 win over Serbia and the 0-0 draw against Greece, Kimmich was omitted from the squad on Klopp's instructions, giving opportunities to younger competitors.

When asked by SPORT1 about the prolonged discussion, Klopp recently said: "I've given up."
