The Germany U 21 coach Stefan Kuntz has announced his squad for the European Championship qualifiers against Azerbaijan in Baku on Thursday (9 November, 15.00 CET) and against Israel (Tuesday, 14 November in Ramat Gan, 17.30 CET). Two Bayer 04 pros have been called up again: The captain Jonathan Tah and Benny Henrichs.
Over the next few days the various international coaches will name their squads so head coach Heiko Herrlich then find out which important players will be away on international duty in this break.
After a goalless and at times evenly-matched first half, Bayer 04's U19s ultimately suffered a heavy defeat at Manchester City. Coach Kevin Brok's depleted side - including five players who were part of the senior squad for the Champions League game in the evening - lost 6-0 on Matchday 5 of the UEFA Youth League.

A key player in that regard could be Aleix Garcia, the former City midfielder who ranks highly in several passing metrics in the Champions League this season.
