Germany have named two squads for the four upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures in September and October.
It's the first group of players selected by Jürgen Klopp, who replaced Julian Nagelsmann after the World Cup, and it's fair to say the 59-year-old has shaken things up.
Klopp has called up a total of 44 players, split into two groups, with each squad covering two games. Among the new faces are SV Elversberg's Yannick Keidel, Augsburg's Hennes Behrens, Freiburg's Max Rosenfelder and TSG Hoffenheim's Bambasé Conté.
The only player named in both the 24-man squad for the first two games and the 20-man squad for the final two is Augsburg's Finn Dahmen.
Germany will kick off the Klopp era with a trip to Amsterdam to face the Netherlands on September 24. That game will be followed by home matches against Greece on September 27 and Serbia on October 1, before Germany travel to Greece again on October 3.
Take a look at the two squads below.
