FRANKFURT: Germany coach Joachim Löw called up two debutants on Friday for Nations League games against Ukraine and Spain and a friendly against the Czech Republic.
Löw named PSV Eindhoven defender Philipp Max and Augsburg defender Felix Uduokhai in his 29-member squad. Thilo Kehrer, Ilkay Gündogan and Leroy Sané also returned after missing the October internationals.
Germany plays the Czech Republic on Nov. 11 in Leipzig, and then hosts Ukraine in the same city three days later. The team then travels to play Spain in Seville on Nov. 17.
Bayern defender Niklas Süle and Chelsea midfielder Kai Havertz will miss the games after testing positive for the coronavirus. The matches are supposed to take place under strict hygiene measures to prevent further infections.
