Klopp's First Squad Announced! Baumann Omitted from Four Nations League Games, National Team Path Hit Hard Again

After Manuel Neuer's exit from the German national team, Jurgen Klopp's first squad announcement still left no place for Oliver Baumann. The 36-year-old Baumann has been omitted from Germany's next four UEFA Nations League matches, which include fixtures against the Netherlands, Serbia, and Greece (twice). The Hoffenheim goalkeeper had previously been demoted to backup status by Julian Nagelsmann ahead of the World Cup. Baumann holds a total of 13 caps for Germany, with 8 of those earned in 2025, including six starts in World Cup qualifying and four clean sheets. Although Baumann has been in contact with Klopp, he still has not been summoned, making his hopes for Euro 2028 even more slim.
