Jurgen Klopp's first match in charge of Germany ended in a 1-1 draw with the Netherlands, yet the result was overshadowed by the loss of Kai Havertz and Jamal Musiala to injury. Felix Nmecha put the hosts ahead in the 32nd minute before Cody Gakpo hit back for the Dutch. After the final whistle, the new manager confirmed that both players are likely to miss the rest of the current international camp, though he voiced hope that they would return to action soon.
Musiala picked up a muscle injury during the pre-match warm-up, while Havertz, the Arsenal forward, was forced off in the 30th minute. Medical staff are now awaiting the results of MRI scans on both players. Klopp pointed out that his squad had just two days of training together, and that fully embedding his tactical ideas will take considerably longer. With his options now stretched thin, the German is planning to call up either Nick Woltemade or Jonathan Burkardt for the next fixture.
