Klopp's decision: shock selection for Germany

Background

As the team's leading man, he can use his experience in matches against Serbia and the Netherlands to help Germany win. With this, he will get a chance to prove his skills by getting a place in the national team again.

Germany national team head coach Jurgen Klopp is all set to finalize his 23-man squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures. There is a strong possibility that 33-year-old Werder Bremen forward Niklas Fulkrug will return. Sources close to the team say Fulkrug, who has experience and box-to-box skills, is under consideration as the two matches against Serbia and the Netherlands are crucial.
Fulcrug's last international appearance came five months ago—in the third-placed match against France on 8 June 2025. He leads the German league with 12 goals in all competitions this season. Also, his productivity has shown consistent results with 14 goals in 24 appearances at the national level. Assertiveness at the height, centre-forward play, header power—he possesses the qualities Germany need in decisive moments.
A few months ago, Klopp had mused about Fulcrug's place in the long-term planning—specifically Euro 2028—because he is 33 years old. His name did not appear in the subsequent September list. In response, Fulcrug insisted, "Klopp only told the truth. But if the country needs me, I will be ready even at 40" and indicated his commitment to the team.
Now, the situation in Germany is looking for precise results. They are currently third in the group standings; A minimum of second place is required to qualify directly for the Nations League quarter-finals in March 2027. In this context, the matches against Serbia and the Netherlands come with great pressure. Klopp, who had 44 names on the initial watch list, will now narrow it down to a group of 23 — meaning the selection will be based on who can make the decision.
Every point counts in the Nations League format; An experienced 'No.9''s ability to score a setpiece or cross pass can make a huge difference in key matches. Such 'target man' qualities in Fulcrugin have drawn Klopp's attention back to him. A veteran winger who can provide balance in the box with young wingers seems to be an attractive aspect of Germany's current need.
On top of that, Fulcrug's club form—12 goals this season—shows his fitness level and ability to make mistakes. With the timing of the match tight and chances limited, even in a half-a-half-a-half-a-half-a-half-a-half-a-half the decision-maker is influential for the team. The physicality of Serbia's defense and the fact that Germany have a solid frontman in the box against the Netherlands' defensive-attacking transition play is reassuring.
All things considered, Fulcrug's return to Klopp's 23-man squad may seem like a shock choice, but not a meaningless one. Considering the team situation, the importance of the matchups, the player's current sense of goal—all three, this decision makes sense. Whenever the final announcement comes, the anticipation of the return of Fulkrug's name has already raised the pulse in the German camp.
What happens next
Jurgen Klopp is set to finalize Germany's 23-man squad, making the selection of players including Fulcrug crucial. Germany need to win these two matches to secure top spot in the UEFA Nations League competition. This will increase Fulcrug and his team's chances of a place in future Euro 2028 plans.
