According to Bild, Germany's 1,000th international player is expected to make his debut in matches against Serbia and Greece. Currently, the German Football Association (DFB) has 999 players in its history. Urbich and Schlotterbeck were the 997th and 998th players respectively.

The goalkeeper for FC Augsburg Dahmen has been one of the most consistent keepers in the Bundesliga in recent years. After youth training at Mainz, he moved to FC Augsburg in 2023 and quickly became the number-one goalkeeper.

At 1.86 meters tall, this goalkeeper has excellent reflexes and high reliability. He is the only goalkeeper to have been called up twice by Klopp's selection. Since Klopp is unlikely to change Urbich in the Serbia match, Dahmen is expected to make his debut in the Greece match on Sunday.

Atubolu has saved six consecutive penalties, a record never achieved before in Bundesliga history. This summer, he transferred from Freiburg to Eintracht Frankfurt. At 1.90 meters, this goalkeeper has represented Germany at every youth level and is renowned for his excellent reflexes and outstanding command of the penalty area. Like Dahmen, he also has a chance to make his debut for Germany on Sunday.

The standout from Stuttgart played a crucial role in helping his team secure a Champions League spot by finishing fourth in the Bundesliga last season. Gelt played 56 matches last season with 2 assists. So far this season, the 1.88-meter defender has played all five official matches. Gelt said: "It felt great to speak with Klopp on the phone. He saw my potential and wanted me to use my strengths to help the team." With his ability to intercept, speed, and vision, this talented defender possesses the qualities necessary for modern defending.

The surname Mika Baur is not unfamiliar to many German sports fans, as he is the son of handball legend Marcus Bauer. Marcus Bauer played 228 matches for Germany between 1994 and 2009, winning the European Championship in 2004 and the World Championship in 2007. Mika Baur's call-up to Klopp's squad came as a surprise. Until this summer, the midfielder was still playing for Paderborn in 2. Bundesliga before transferring to Celtic in Scotland. He was surprised by the call-up himself. Baur said: "It felt very far from reality before I received the contact. When I went to Glasgow, I knew it was the next step, but I didn't expect it to be a step like this."

El Mala previously played in 3. Liga for Viktoria Cologne 17 months ago, then scored 13 goals last season, almost single-handedly saving Cologne from relegation. This summer, Brighton, Brentford, and Borussia Dortmund all made substantial offers to Cologne. However, El Mala ultimately stayed and extended his contract with Cologne for another year until 2031. He now wears the number 10 shirt left behind by Cologne legend Lukas Podolski. Many experts have called for his inclusion in the World Cup squad for a long time, but former Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann did not select him.

This midfielder has been at Brentford for six years and has not missed a single Premier League match this season. He is a team leader and vice captain. Vitali Janelt's presence can strengthen Germany's midfield. Janelt said: "I am a player who plays for the team, and I will work hard for my teammates in attack." In 2016, he was sanctioned by the DFB due to an incident during a national team training camp. Hotel staff discovered a cannabis-related fire in Janelt's and Idrissa Touré's room. Both were suspended. Touré's international career ended there, while Janelt continued at Bochum and Brentford, gradually developing to his current level and becoming a key player for Brentford with two goals and assists. Now he has also been called up to the German national team.

Last season, Schlotterbeck was often a backup to Vincenzo Grifo, Freiburg's veteran winger. Now he has become a regular on the left wing, playing all four Bundesliga matches. Across all competitions, he has scored 2 goals and provided 7 assists in 7 games, making him Freiburg's top scorer. He also started in the Serbia match.

This call-up is a reward for Schlotterbeck's hard work. This summer, he took only a few days off to stay in Cologne and train with a personal coach.

This right-footed player plays as a defensive midfielder for the newly promoted team. Kietel made his Bundesliga debut in the opening match against Leverkusen when the score was 3-2 a year ago. He transferred from Ingolstadt to Saarland for approximately 400,000 euros. Until summer 2025, he continued playing in 3. Liga. After one season in 2. Bundesliga, he played only a few Bundesliga matches before being called up to the national team directly. Kietel can also play as a right-back. He was excluded from the 23-man squad for the Serbia match but still hopes to make his debut in the Greece match on Sunday.

Urbich, the backup goalkeeper for FC Bayern Munich, will be Germany's starting goalkeeper in the Serbia match. Urbich transferred from Cologne to Bayern in January 2025 and has already played 34 matches with nearly excellent performances. He has outstanding shot-stopping ability, remarkable composure for his age, and good ball-playing skills. He has learned much from Neuer, particularly regarding distribution. Urbich's long passes are accurate and often initiate direct attacks. Neuer has been both a friend and mentor to Urbich, and they have an excellent relationship. They were never separated during the World Cup period, when Urbich was with the team as a training goalkeeper, gaining valuable experience in important competitions.
