Nagelsmann described him as &#8220;a great talent in defense&#8221;.\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>These matches are crucial for Germany, which is in third place in its group after losing its first match against Slovakia last month.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\nBrown, 22, is eligible for both nations, but playing for Germany in an official match over the age of 20 would close the door on the possibility of representing the United States in the future.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a1.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F1002%2Fr1554473_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Nathaniel Brown\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Nathaniel Brown, jugador del Eintracht Frankfurt, ha sido convocado por Alemania por primera vez.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nBrown was born in Germany, the son of an American father and a German mother, and plays for Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga. He was a key player in the German U-21 team that lost the European Championship final to England in June.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>In a video published by Frankfurt in July, Brown stated: &#8220;Of course, there was contact, but I was born in Germany and have played for the under-21s&#8221;.<\/p><cite>Nathaniel Brown<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nGiven Antonio R\u00fcdiger&#8217;s injury absence from Real Madrid, Nagelsmann will rely on Borussia Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck to maintain defensive solidity. Schlotterbeck returned this month from a five-month injury absence.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Nagelsmann stated: &#8220;Even if we are still missing some players, we are convinced that our team has the quality to do better than it has done recently. With Toni R\u00fcdiger out, it is enormously important to have Nico Schlotterbeck back&#8221;.<\/p><cite>Julian Nagelsmann<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nNick Woltemade, from Newcastle, could be the starting striker after Nagelsmann left Niclas F\u00fcllkrug out.
