Scherhant and Treu make strong cases in Klopp's first Germany squad
Jürgen Klopp's first Germany squad included 44 nominees, and several players used the recent international break to stake claims for November. Freiburg's Derry Scherhant was a constant threat on the left, recording the most shots and open-play crosses, while Philipp Treu started and completed 90 minutes in three of four matches and created eight chances.
Klopp’s first Germany group contained 44 nominees and will be cut before November. Across four matches, the team recorded one victory, two draws and one loss, giving fringe players chances to impress. Freiburg’s Derry Scherhant beat Cologne’s Saïd El Mala to a left-sided starting role and led the squad in shots and open-play crosses. A Jonathan Burkardt goal against Greece was ruled out for handball, preventing Scherhant from registering a goal contribution.
Freiburg’s Philipp Treu began and finished three of four games, creating eight chances—more than anyone else. Klopp said full-backs must attack aggressively and defend relentlessly, adding Treu looked composed rather than new. Bayern’s Jonas Urbig kept clean sheets against Serbia and Greece, making a key early save versus Greece, while 21-year-old Tom Bischof scored against Serbia and showed tempo control, precise passing and stamina.
