Klopp excludes Undav from Nations League squad, includes Frankfurt players

Summary

Jürgen Klopp will not name Stuttgart striker Deniz Undav to the UEFA Nations League squad announced on Thursday. Undav's early season performance has been underwhelming, leading Klopp to opt for Eintracht Frankfurt players Younes Ebnoutalib and Jonathan Burkardt instead. Ebnoutalib will make his first appearance in the national squad after scoring a hat-trick in the Bundesliga. Burkardt, previously omitted from the World Cup squad, seeks to regain form after struggling in initial appearances for Germany. Undav previously excelled as Germany’s joint-top-scorer in a North American tournament.
