As announced by the German Football Association (DFB) on Monday, Jonathan Tah returns to the national team squad. Germany coach Hansi Flick called up the 25-year-old as the Werkself key defender was already on the way to the team hotel in Wolfsburg. The 13-time Germany international will join the first training session on Tuesday morning.
Florian Wirtz is also on his way to Wolfsburg. In contrast to his Leverkusen teammates, the 18 year-old will not be available for the games against Liechtenstein (11 November, 20.45 CET) and Armenia (14 November, 18.00 CET) due to injury. The youngster has a muscle problem in his hips.
Following the 1-1 draw for the Werkself at Hertha Berlin, sporting managing director Rudi Völler spoke to the BILD Zeitung about Wirtz as follows: "Of course, we would have liked to see Florian play in Berlin. But he cannot play on Thursday and Sunday." Wirtz has made four appearances for the Germany senior team date. "Florian will join the national team. I'm assuming he will probably return in one or two days and then undergo treatment here with us," added Völler.

“Year after year, this is an incredibly valuable gathering, both in terms of the content covered and the opportunity for mutual discussion,” stressed Bayer 04 goalkeeping coach David Thiel in his welcoming address at this year’s goalkeeping coaches’ meeting. This was the third time in four seasons that the event had been held at the BayArena. Organised by the German Football Association (DFB), the meeting brought together goalkeeping coaches from the Bundesliga, Bundesliga 2 and the 3rd division from the west region. For the first time this year, goalkeeping coaches from the youth performance centres (NLZ) were also present. Bayer 04 fitness coach Markus Müller provided fascinating insights into the specific fitness training carried out with the Werkself’s goalkeepers.

It was another incredibly close call in the end: The second showdown in the 2026/27 VBL Club Championship saw the #B04eSports team once again narrowly miss out on a place in the top 16 of the preliminary round – and with it, a spot in the in-person knockout stage. It was a bitter blow: Marc and Sean Landwehr again fell just short, despite being level on points with their rivals. As was the case last month, their weaker record across the twelve individual matches in the six preliminary round fixtures proved decisive.
