Stuttgart coach Sebastian Hoeneß said that calling up 4 of his team’s players to the Germany national team roster is a “confirmation” of the high capabilities of his club, which observers see as the surprise of the German League this season.
Stuttgart occupies third place in the German League (Bundesliga) standings with 9 stages remaining in the competition, as it is close to qualifying for the Champions League next season, following narrowly escaping relegation last season.
Julian Nagelsmann, the coach of the German national team (machines), called up Deniz Undav, Waldemar Anton and Maximilian Mittelstadt to the team’s roster for the first time today, Thursday, to join Chris Fuhrich, the team’s player, who was previously nominated.
Hoeness continued in a press conference before facing his former team Hoffenheim in the German League the day following tomorrow, Saturday: “It is a great compliment and I am very excited for them.”
“They all played a big role in why we had an exceptional season,” Hoeneß added. “The quartet have already made a real impact.”
Despite his summons, Anton, Stuttgart’s captain and defender, was unable to train on Thursday, but he is supposed to be ready for Saturday’s match.
“It was just a precaution,” Hoeness explained.
He continued, “Meanwhile, there are doubts regarding Hiroki Ito’s participation, while Anthony Rouault will definitely be absent following undergoing surgery to treat a fractured jaw.”
The 3-2 loss to Hoffenheim in the first half of the season was Stuttgart’s only defeat at home so far this season.
Stuttgart’s coach spoke regarding that match, saying, “We saw in this match what Hoffenheim is like. They have a lot of good players and we have to be more vigilant defensively.”
