Germany national team hit by injuries in Klopp's debut
Germany suffered two withdrawals after just the first half on Thursday. A player for the Netherlands also left injured.
The German national team went into halftime with a 1-0 lead against the Netherlands in their UEFA Nations League opener. Felix Nmecha scored the goal (32').
However, in national team coach Jürgen Klopp's debut, Germany was plagued by injuries in the first half.
Concerns about Musiala and Havertz
Bayern's Jamal Musiala, who was slated for the starting XI, was a late withdrawal due to thigh problems, according to "Sky" reporter Patrick Berger. Nadiem Amiri of Mainz 05 moved into Klopp's first XI.
After about half an hour, Arsenal player Kai Havertz had to leave the field injured. Younes Ebnoutalib of Eintracht Frankfurt came into the game, making his Germany debut.
Netherlands coach Xavi, who also made his debut on Thursday like Klopp, also had to react in the first half. Brian Brobbey went down shortly before Germany's opening goal and had to be taken off the field after Nmecha's goal. The striker is likely to have injured his thigh.
