Klopp sends Kimmich home from Germany camp after repeated requests

Jürgen Klopp announced his Germany squad for the current international break, calling up 44 players for two matches. Captain Joshua Kimmich asked to remain with the team following their 1-1 draw against the Netherlands and loss to Greece, but was ultimately sent home. Klopp stated that frequent requests could reduce the likelihood of getting what one wants and emphasized the need to assess younger players. Kimmich will now take a family holiday, while Germany faces Greece again on Sunday.
