Julian Nagelsmann has informed Borussia Dortmund’s Felix Nmecha (25) that he will be called up to the German national team for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Bild report that Nagelsmann intends to personally inform all candidates of whether of not they will be nominated for his 26-man World Cup squad, which is set to be announced on Thursday, having already informed Nmecha.
It’s good news for the Dortmund star, who didn’t feature in April due to a knee injury but did play the full 90 minutes against Werder Bremen in BVB’s 2-0 victory on the final matchday of the season. Speaking at the end of March, Nagelsmann said: “There’s definitely a risk that he won’t be able to play at the World Cup.”
But, bouncing back from injury, the 25-year-old is set to play a key role for Germany.
