Jurgen Klopp explains decision to drop Marc-Andre ter Stegen ahead of Greece match

Jurgen Klopp, manager of the Germany national team, announced that Marc-Andre ter Stegen will not start in the upcoming match against Greece. Despite praise for Ter Stegen's performance against the Netherlands, where he was said to play exceptionally well, Klopp opted for Alexander Nübel in goal. This decision aligns with a prior agreement, as Klopp aims to evaluate his options throughout the international break, which includes matches against Serbia and Greece. Ter Stegen had previously missed the World Cup 2026 due to injury but returned to the squad for the recent match.
