Klopp confirms goalkeeper to replace Neuer as Germany's first choice

Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Marc-Andre ter Stegen as Germany’s new number one goalkeeper.

This follows the announcement of the squad for upcoming Nations League games against Serbia and the Netherlands.

While Barcelona attacker Karim Adeyemi was a notable absentee from the list, Ter Stegen secured his spot as the top choice in goal.

Ter Stegen is currently playing on loan at Ajax from Barca and has been picked ahead of Jonas Urbig and Alexander Nubel.

“Marc is having a fantastic season in Amsterdam, and fortunately, the other two are also having really good seasons,” Klopp explained to reporters, as quoted by SPORT.

“We’re going into these matches with Marc as our number one. And this isn’t about who happens to be making the better saves at any given moment, because goalkeepers need to provide a lot of stability and confidence.”
