The Werkself central defender Tah missed the last two Germany games (2-2 against Argentina, 3-0 against Estonia) due to a bout of flu. The 23-year-old now returns to the national squad. "I'm happy he's been called up again," said Bayer 04 coach Peter Bosz. Midfielder Havertz was in the line-up for both of Germany's past two games and he went the full distance in the Euro qualifier against Estonia.
Amiri impressed in his debut for Germany against Argentina, producing a good performance from the bench – and now he has been called up again. The 23-year-old summer signing from TSG Hoffenheim could pick up international caps three and four. "We are proud of all three of them,"
Eleven other the Werkself players have also been called up: Lukas Hradecky, Joel Pohjanpalo (both Finland), Charles Aranguiz (Chile), Julian Baumgartlinger, Aleksandar Dragovic (both Austria), Lucas Alario (Argentina), Paulinho (Brazil U23), Moussa Diaby (France U21), Panagiotis Retsos (Greece U21), Adrian Stanilewicz (Poland U20) and Marcel Lotka (Poland U19).

A fresh look for the BayArena: The Bayer 04 stadium will have new seating in the form of folding seats for the 2026/27 campaign that will ensure significantly improved seating comfort and simplified movement within the rows of seats. As part of routine replacement after 17 years, fans of the Werkself were able to purchase the existing seats, used to witness the first German league title in the club's history. In addition, a large proportion of the seats will be donated to charitable projects, primarily in the local region. Bayer 04 fans can look forward to new, functional folding seats for the season opener at the beginning of August - still in the club colours of black and red, of course. A glimpse at the BayArena during the refurbishment.
