Klopp will announce the national team's squad before the UEFA Nations League.

Jurgen Klopp, the head coach of the German national football team, has offered an early indication of how he intends to rebuild the squad following the disappointing World Cup performance, as he selects his first squad on Thursday.
Great expectations surround the former Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool manager, but this also places him under immense pressure ahead of the first four Nations League matches against the Netherlands, Serbia, and Greece (two games) from September 24 to October 4.
It is widely believed that Klopp will name an expanded squad exceeding the 23 players allowed in the matchday roster, aiming to distribute the workload among players.
Klopp stated at his introductory press conference last July that he is tracking 57 potential players, and he made sure to attend matches and training sessions of several clubs, from Bayern Munich (the German champions) to Mainz, in order to monitor players closely.
This marks a significant change from the approach of his predecessor, Julian Nagelsmann, who rarely attended matches and resigned after Germany’s exit in the Round of 32 of the World Cup.
