Bayern Munich has one more game in the Bundesliga before players head off for the two-week international break with their national teams.

Germany national team head coach Julian Nagelsmann has announced his 23-man squad for the UEFA Nations League quarter-final stages. He has called up just four Die Roten players, which is low for a German team with the stature of Bayern.

Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, Jamal Musiala, and Leroy Sane make the squad. More international players from other nations on the team have not helped the lack of German players from the Bavarian side making the German squad. Bayern could have players representing over seven different nations during the international break.

Kimmich has been announced as a defensive player. However, Nagelsmann was asked about where he would play the Bayern player. However, he said he could lineup at right-back or as a midfielder.

Germany will need even more out of Jamal Musiala with Bayer Leverkusen creative midfielder Florian Wirtz out injured. Germany will face Italy in a two-leg quarter-final in the UEFA Nations League. The first leg is being played in Italy at the San Siro.
