Germany could be handing a major opportunity to one of its brightest young talents tonight in the UEFA Nations League.
According to reports from Bild, RB Leipzig attacker Brajan Gruda is set to make his senior debut for the German national team against Serbia, with the youngster expected to start as part of an exciting attacking quartet.
Gruda will reportedly line up alongside Florian Wirtz and Derry Scherhant behind Kai Havertz, who is expected to start at striker. Niclas Füllkrug will start on the bench.
There will also be a familiar Bayern Munich connection in midfield, with Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlović reportedly getting the nod together. Borussia Dortmund’s Felix Nmecha, meanwhile, is expected to begin the match among the substitutes.
It is an interesting lineup from Jürgen Klopp, particularly the decision to hand Gruda his first senior appearance while opting for Havertz ahead of Füllkrug. For Gruda, tonight could be the beginning of something special. Now it is time to make the most of the opportunity.
