Lennart Karl has been taking the world by storm this season with Bayern Munich. After bursting onto the scene with an energetic performance last summer at the FIFA Club World Cup, the wonderkid has continued to elevate his game throughout the season scoring goals and dribbling past defenders with an incredible work rate.
His performances have not gone unnoticed by German national team manager, Julian Nagelsmann, who is reportedly calling up the Bayern Munich talent in Thursday’s squad announcement
per Bild’s Michel Schröer. Karl certainly thrived with the U-21 squad, and he has more than earned consideration by Nagelsmann at this point in the season.
This would be Lennart Karl’s first senior call up and a chance for Julian Nagelsmann to test him out in friendly matches against Switzerland and Ghana. With a wealth of attacking options available for the national team, it will be interesting to see just how much Karl could emerge in this squad.
Will Karl remain an X-factor off the bench or could he elevate to a starting role by the time the World Cup rolls around? While he is likely not a primary option at this point, Karl certainly has the chance to prove himself this March.
