Germany’s World Cup squad is taking shape, and three VfB Stuttgart players have reportedly been told they are in line for a place. Bild’s Julian Agardi said coach Julian Nagelsmann has contacted Deniz Undav, Jamie Leweling and Angelo Stiller about heading to North America.
Agardi wrote: “Julian #Nagelsmann nominates #Undav, #Stiller, and #Leweling for the World Cup. #Nübel hasn’t received a call yet. @BILD” The report is unofficial, but it points to a clear direction for a roster that has not yet been announced publicly by the German national team.
The names matter because Stuttgart sits at the center of the conversation. Under Nagelsmann, Maximilian Mittelstädt, Josha Vagnoman and Chris Führich have already been part of the setup, and their status appears unresolved after this latest report. Alexander Nübel, the Bayern Munich loanee, has not been contacted as of yet, while 19-year-old center-back Finn Jeltsch was always seen as a long shot and now seems likely to wait for another cycle.
That leaves the picture both promising and incomplete. If the report is accurate, Nagelsmann is narrowing the germany world cup squad with a heavy Stuttgart influence, but the lack of an official release means none of it is final yet. For now, the only certainty is that the roster is still moving, and several of the players closest to it are still waiting to hear their names spoken in public.
