Löw nominates Ridle Baku for first senior call-up
A third debutante joins Philip Max and Felix Udoukhai on Joachim Löw's German national team's roster.
News emerged on Sunday that both Leipzig's Marcel Halstenberg and PSG's Thilo Kehrer would be unable accept Jogi Löw's call-ups for the coming international break. Additionally, Joshua Kimmich will undergo major surgery and is set to miss months.
At this point it remains unclear if Löw will call-up three more players to replace his initial selections. It was announced on Sunday that the in-form Ridle Baku will join the German Nationalmannschaft for at least the coming friendly against the Czech Republic on Wednesday.
The 22-year-old Mainz native has been in blistering form recently and can play either as a fullback or midfielder. The popular youngster earns his first senior national team call up after amassing over 20 appearances at youth level.
