Sky Sports’ Florian Plettenberg reports that Brajan Gruda will be among the list of new players in Germany’s setup by Jürgen Klopp. The 59-year-old plans to name an extended squad for the upcoming four games in the UEFA Nations League.

Gruda scored three goals in 20 appearances for Germany U21. He was part of the team that lost the Euros final to England last year. However, he has only played two games so far for Antonio Di Salvo’s side in the qualifiers for the subsequent competition.

The former Mainz 05 attacker was called by Julian Nagelsmann for a friendly game once, but he hasn’t made his debut yet. The 22-year-old rejoined RB Leipzig in another loan deal from Brighton after his impressive six-month spell last term.
