It has been another active morning on the German national team front. Let’s catch up on the roster leaks.
According to a report from Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, Bayern Munich loanee and VfB Stuttgart starting goalkeeper Alexander Nübel has made the German national team and will be the No. 3 goalkeeper:

In a somewhat odd twist, Bayern Munich
goalkeeper Jonas Urbig has also been called up, but not for a roster spot. Urbig will be a training goalkeeper per Bild (via @iMiaSanMia):
