What happened. Felix Keidel has been called up by Germany coach Jürgen Klopp for the upcoming UEFA Nations League games. The 23-year-old has impressed for Elversberg in the Bundesliga after switching from full-back to central midfield.
- Keidel joined Ingolstadt at nine and made 91 senior appearances, scoring nine and assisting 14.
- He helped Elversberg to a maiden Bundesliga promotion in 2025/26, mainly as a full-back.
- An injury to Freddy Schmahl gave Keidel a chance in midfield, and he seized it.
Keidel will look to make his Germany debut in the Nations League and cement his place in Klopp's plans.
