Teenager Said El Mala has received his first call-up to the German national team, while Leroy Sané makes a return for the final World Cup qualifiers. Coach Julian Nagelsmann announced a 25-player squad that includes El Mala, who has been impressive with four goals for Cologne this season. This is significant as it highlights the emergence of young talent in German football, although it’s notable that 17-year-old Lennart Karl, who has also performed well for Bayern Munich, was not included this time.
