What happened. Hennes Behrens has earned his first senior Germany cap under Jürgen Klopp after helping Augsburg to a record start to the 2026/27 Bundesliga campaign. The 21-year-old left-back made his debut in the latter stages of the UEFA Nations League defeat to Greece on 27 September.

• Behrens was born in Frankfurt and honed his skills at Mainz, Darmstadt, and Hoffenheim.
• He made his senior debut for Hoffenheim's reserves in 2024 and his professional debut in a Europa League win over Anderlecht in January 2025.
• A loan move to Heidenheim in January 2026 saw him make 16 Bundesliga appearances and score his first Bundesliga goal.

Behrens will look to build on his Germany debut and continue his impressive form for Augsburg in the Bundesliga.
