Germany coach Jürgen Klopp has announced his squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures against Serbia on November 13 and the Netherlands on November 16.
It is the second squad Klopp has named since replacing Julian Nagelsmann as Germany head coach over the summer.
Notably, 17-year-old Borussia Mönchengladbach talent Wael Mohya has received his first senior call-up.
Niclas Füllkrug has also been included after impressing during his loan spell at Werder Bremen from West Ham United, while 1. FC Köln's Said El Mala and Bayern Munich's Lennart Karl have made the cut as well.
RB Leipzig midfielder Brajan Gruda has likewise been selected, while his club teammates David Raum and Ridle Baku have been left out.
“I'm really looking forward to the next two matches,” said Klopp, adding:
"We have a good mix of very young and more experienced players in the squad. After naming a 44-man squad in September, it was difficult to make these selections because – and this is actually the good news – there are more players who deserve to be involved. But that's how it should be.
"The more quality you have at your disposal, the more difficult your decisions become, in a positive sense."
