Elversberg all-rounder Keidel set to receive first Germany call in Klopp’s extended squad

Felix Keidel could benefit from Jürgen Klopp’s decision to call two squads for the upcoming UEFA Nations League games.

BILD reports that Germany coach Jürgen Klopp plans to call up Felix Keidel for the upcoming UEFA Nations League games. The Elversberg all-rounder scored a sensational free-kick in the 4-3 comeback win away at struggling Borussia Mönchengladbach.

The debutants started their campaign with back-to-back wins before a narrow defeat to FC Bayern. Keidel, who played as both right-back and left-back in the promotion season, started all three games as a defensive midfielder.

Before joining Elversberg last summer, Keidel played two and a half seasons in 3. Liga with Ingolstadt. The 23-year-old has never represented Germany in any age group. Klopp is likely to call up to 40 players for the games against the Netherlands, Greece (home and away) and Serbia.
